Geothermal

       Advantages                                Disadvantages
uses renewable resources                 still pollutes   

Produces a lot of energy          very expensive

                                              Doesn't pollute as much          Disrupts wildlife

Solar Energy

Solar Energy

Solar is a way to gather electricity, without hurting the environment.
But, it does have some flaws. In order to have solar plants, you need lots of land.

Geothermal

                                                    GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

                        HOW IT WORKS:

A geothermal power plant works by tapping into steam or hot water reservoirs underground;the heat is used to drive an eletrical generator.Most geothermal plants are located in the Western United States,where hot water reservoirs are common.

                                              WHAT IT'S USED FOR
Geothermal energy is used for amazing things like geyser shoots!It is also used to create electricity and whoever is reading this knows what crazy things electricity can do!Power phones,charge cars,and light up huge buildings!

ADVANTAGES
Pumps can store heat for later use
No enviromental impact


DISADVANTAGES
Supply could change
Cannot be transported

Natural gas is a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons.

Some disadvantages is it causes smog which makes it hard to breath for some people. Another disadvantage is it is non renewable which means we can run out of it and that is not good.

Some advantages is you can cook with it,heat your home, and fuel your outside grill.  Another advantage is natural gas is not expensive 

coal

Coal forms from plant remains. Dead plants turn into peat overtime. Then, some of the peat becomes buried. Finally, the peat that is buried, and the buried peat turns into coal.

We use coal for....
electricity, gasoline, and trains, today.


Advantages: Coal creates electricity, coal also creates gasoline. We can also use coal for trains.

Disadvantages: Burning coal emits harmful waste into the air. Also, coal mining can scar the landscape.

Nuclear Energy

                                                                Nuclear Energy

Nuclear Energy can be split or combined which is called Nuclear Energy.The energy can be acquired by two kinds of energy called Fission and Fusion.To this day we use fission energy because the technology for fusion power is too advanced.The most common nuclear energy is Uranium.The fission of atoms are split into two or more fragments and splits the atom.During this process lots of energy and heat and radiation.With nuclear energy releasing lots of energy it creates lots of toxic and nuclear waste.Fission also doesn't create air pollution because no fuel is burned.The amount of heat produced causes lots of heated water to be released into aquatic ecosystems so the water has to be cooled before being released.All in all nuclear energy is a nonrenewable energy source that has some advantages and disadvantages.

Petroleum (Oil)

PETROLEUM (OIL)

Petroleum (Oil) is a non-renewable resource.
DISADVANTAGES
-It is drilled from ground which is a disadvantage because it causes earthquakes.
-Oil pullets the air as well.
ADVANTAGES
-It gives us diesel fuel and or gasoline
- Makes ink,bubble gum and plastic
First the oil is drilled from the deep ground. Then it is refined,after it is refined it is made into bubble gum,gasoline,etc.
Oil can be made into the following:
-bubble gum
-gasoline
-ink
-diesel fuel
-plastic
-and the most obvious: energy
