Renewable and Non-renewable Resources.

Examples of Renewable Resources

SOLAR ENERGY: consists of directly obtaining electricity from solar radiation

HYDRAULIC ENERGY:It is that obtained from the use of the kinetic and potential energies of the water current

AEOLIC ENERGY: This energy uses the power of wind to make electricity.

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY: This energy is located underground, it uses the power of Eart's core.

Renewable

Disadvantages: It takes a lot of money to extract them.

Advantages: This energies are almost forever and reusable.

Renewable energies are those that are used from natural sources that produce energy inexhaustibly

Examples of Non-Renewable Resources

CARBON: It is a black rock, very rich in carbon and with variable amounts of other elements, mainly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen and nitrogen.

NATURAL GAS: Natural gas is a mixture of light gases of natural origin.

URANIUM: Uranium is a chemical element present in nature, in rocks, water or air

OIL: Petroleum is a mixture of organic compounds, mainly water-insoluble hydrocarbons.

Non-Renewable

Disadvantages: Once they consume all, there's no way to get new ones. The waste they left it contamines the planet.

Advantages: Most people use them, they're easy to extract them

Non-renewable energies are limited and therefore decrease as they consume.
