Renewable and Non-renewable energy sources - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Oil is produced when ancient fossils of plants and animals is refined into petroleum and combusted
        
        Some advantages of oil energy is that it is cheap, reliable, high density energy, and easy to store and transport.
        some disadvantages are that is is non-renewable, and pollutes the environment.
        
        Comparing to hydro fusion energy, oil energy is more widely used than hydro fusion. But hydro fusion is renewable and doesn't produce and pollution.
        
        Oil energy is used to propel vehicles, to heat buildings, and to produce electricity. Oil is also used as a material to make plastics, polyurethane, solvents, and other goods.
        
        Oil energy is non-renewable. Oil lets out lots of waste materials when it is burned.
      - Oil energy was discovered by Col. Edwin Drake when he dirilled a well and produced oil that is used for energy in 1859

        Oil is a non-renewable source of energy. ...
        
        Burning oil produces carbon dioxide gas. ...
        
        Burning oil can pollute the air.
      - Compare with solar energy- Solar cannot be directly used while oil can, solar is renewable while oil is not. Oil has pollution and the solar energy does not, and finally solar energy cannot be collected in anytime of the day. Source

- - - - WHO DISCOVERED IT AND HOW?
        
        Natural gas was discovered in French explorers who were in America in 1626. They discovered it when they noticed that the Native Americans were igniting gases that seeped from Lake Erie.

        HOW IS NATURAL GAS PRODUCED?
        
        Natural gas is produced from many types of sedimentary rocks such as shale. Using those rocks, it is formed by additional factors such as forcing water, chemicals, and sand. These factors create a high pressure on the gas.
        
        USES OF NATURAL GAS ENERGY
        
        Natural gas energy is used for heating buildings and water, refrigerating, cooking, drying clothes, and providing outdoor lighting (basically anything that relates with manipulating temperature).
        
        NATURAL GAS ENERGY IS NON-RENEWABLE
        
        Natural gas energy is non-renewable due to the fact that there are processes that can remove it from its energy source.
        (Ex.)
        
        Oil and Condensate Removal
        
        Water Removal
        
        Separation of Natural Gas Liquids
        
        Sulfur and Carbon Dioxide Removal
        
        SOLAR ENERGY AND NATURAL GAS ENERGY
        
        A similarity that can be clearly shown is that they are both energies. They especially are produced by heat. The difference between them is that natural gas energy is non-renewable, while solar energy is renewable. Meaning, one can be used repeatedly, while the other one cannot.
      - THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF NATURAL GAS ENERGY
        
        Some of the advantages of natural gas energy are that it can be transported easily and produces less pollution. However, there are disadvantages such as being a non-renewable source and emitting carbon dioxide.
- - - - Low Cost of Operation. After the initial cost of construction, nuclear energy has the advantage of being one of the most cost-effective energy solutions available. ...
      - Reliable Source of Energy. ...
      - Stable Base Load Energy. ...
      - Produces Low Pollution. ...
      - Sufficient Fuel Availability. ...
      - It Has High Energy Density.
- - - - Hydro fusion is a form of stored energy, but fusion can create 20 to 100 million times more energy than a chemical reaction of fossil fuels.
        
        Hydro fusion was discovered by a British Astrophysisct named Author Eddington, publishing the theory that starts produce energy from the fusion of hydrogen in 1926.
        
        Because hydro fusion produces tons and tons of energy, in the future it can be our main source of energy production, adding on to the fact that it doesn't produce pollution or greenhouse gasses.
        
        It is renewable due to the hydraulic cycle.
