Assignment 3, non-renewable energy - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Avantages
        
        reservoir for recreation and fishing, produce hydropower, reduce downstream flooding and controlling irrigation
      - Disadvantage
        
        large losses of water through evaporation, flooded land if dams is broken, disrupting migration and spawning of aquatic organism, reduce nutrient-rich silt of downstream cropland
    - - advantages
        
        Good source, available around
        
        year, exists everywhere
        
        can renewable
        
        extract cleaner,
        
        cheaper
      - Disadvantages
        
        increase cost
        
        reducing
        water flow into the basin
        
        land subsidence
        
        invasion
        saltwater intrusion in coastal areas
        
        aquifer
        depletion
- - - - do not produce harmful wastes that affect the environment.
      - never run out because these sources are continuously filled by nature
      - easily available and are reliable because these energy sources are distributed equally on the planet
      - require less maintenance as compared to non-renewable energy sources
    - - not available round the clock because these sources are natural forces that depend strongly on the weather condition
      - The efficiency is low because every type of energy requires a particular kind of technology to convert it into electricity
      - as compared with traditional energy conversion devices, the efficiency of renewable sources and technology is not that high
      - The storage cost of renewable energy is very high, and also it requires a lot of space for its installation.
  - - - oil and coal tend to provide us with more energy as compared to renewable
        energy
      - In the construction of natural gas pipelines, mining of coal and selling of oil and petroleum, huge profits can be generated.
      - easy to use and quite easy to store. Also, non-renewable resources can be conveniently moved across the world.
      - helpful in generating employment
    - - consumes a lot of time and it
        takes a lot of effort.
      - slowly vanishing from the earth because they are formed over billions of years.
      - Transportation of non-renewable sources is a very risky process
