With the use of coordinates, we can determine where a
certain point or shape is on a graph or map. To get the
precise locations on Earth, one needs to check at..

RESOURCES
EARTH’S NATURAL RESOURCES
Natural resources are materials that can be used to
support life and at the same time provide energy for
living things to work and for machines to run or
operate. These resources are either supplied by the
sun or by earth’s natural processes. The total
environment— atmosphere, lithosphere, and
hydrosphere is a reservoir of natural resources needed
by living things to live.

ENERGY RESOURCES
Energy is the capacity to do work and is required for life processes.
An energy resource is something that can produce heat, power life,
move objects, or produce electricity. Matter that stores energy is
called a fuel. Human energy consumption has grown steadily
.throughout human history. Early humans had modest energy
requirements, mostly food and fuel for fires to cook and keep warm.
In today's society, humans consume as much as 110 times as much
energy per person as early humans. Most of the energy we use
today come from fossil fuels (stored solar energy).
Solar Energy arrives from the
Sun by electromagnetic
SOLAR ENERGY
radiation. It can be used
directly for heat and converted
to electricity for other uses. It is
a nearly unlimited source, it is
renewable, and largely, non-
polluting.
GRAVITY GENERATED BY THE EARTH & MOON
Gravitational pull of the Moon on the Earth causes tides. Tidal flow can
be harnessed to drive turbines. This is also a nearly unlimited source of
energy and is largely non-polluting.
Combining both both solar energy and gravity provides other useful
sources of energy. Solar radiation heats air and evaporates water. Gravity
causes cooler air to sink and condense water vapor. Gravity then pulls
condensed water back to Earth, where it flows downhill. The circulation
of the atmosphere by the process is what we call the wind. Energy can be
extracted from the wind using windmills. Water flowing downhill has a
result of gravity can also be harnessed for energy to drive turbines and
generate electricity. This is called hydroelectric energy. This sources of
energy are mostly renewable, but only locally, and are generally non-
polluting.
Decay of radioactive
elements has produced heat
ENERGY IN THE INTERIOR OF THE EARTH
throughout Earth history.
It is this heat that causes the temperature to increase
with depth in the Earth and is responsible for melting of
mantle rocks to form magmas. Magmas can carry the
heat upward into the crust. Groundwater circulating in
the vicinity of igneous intrusions carries the heat back
toward the surface. If this hot water can be tapped, it can
be used directly to heat homes, or if trapped at great
depth under pressure it can be turned into steam which
will expand and drive a turbine to generate electricity.
ENERGY STORED IN CHEMICAL BONDS
Energy stored in chemical bonds drives
chemical reactions. When the reactions
take place this energy is either released or
absorbed. If it is absorbed, it is stored in
the chemical bond for later use. If it is
released, it can produce useful heat energy.
electricity, and light.
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF NATURAL RESOURCES ON
EARTH - RENEWABLE AND NONRENEWABLE.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO KINDS
OF RESOURCES?
RENEWABLE RESOURCES
Renewable resources are natural resources
that can be replenished or regenerated
naturally over time, either through natural
processes or human intervention. These
resources are considered sustainable
because their use does not lead to their
depletion.
EXAMPLE OF RENEWABLE RESOURCES
1. Solar Energy
2. Wind Energy
3. Hydropower
4. Biomass
5. Geothermal Energy
6. Hydrogen
7. Ocean Energy
NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES
Non-renewable resources are natural
resources that exist in finite quantities and
cannot be replenished or regenerated
within a human lifespan or over geological
timescales. Once these resources are
depleted, they cannot be easily replaced.
EXAMPLE OF NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES
1. Fossil Fuels
2. Minerals
3. Nuclear Fuel
USES OF RENEWABLE
RESOURCES
ELECTRICITY GENERATION
Renewable resources such as solar, wind,
hydro, and geothermal energy are used to
generate electricity. Solar panels, wind
turbines, hydroelectric dams, and
geothermal power plants harness these
resources to produce clean energy.
HEATING AND COOLING
Solar energy can be used for heating water
in homes and buildings through solar water
heaters. Geothermal heat pumps utilize the
Earth's natural heat for heating and cooling
buildings.
TRANSPORTATION
Biofuels derived from renewable resources
like corn, sugarcane, and algae can be used
as alternative fuels for vehicles. Electric
vehicles (EVs) powered by electricity from
renewable sources are also becoming more
popular.
AGRICULTURE
Biomass from renewable resources like
crop residues, wood, and organic waste can
be converted into biofuels, biogas, and
fertilizers. Renewable energy can also
power irrigation systems and farm
machinery.
MANUFACTURING
Renewable resources such as wood,
bamboo, and plant fibers are used in the
production of paper, textiles, furniture, and
construction materials.
WATER MANAGEMENT
Renewable energy sources can be used to
power desalination plants and water
treatment facilities, providing clean water
for drinking, irrigation, and industrial
processes.
USES OF NON-
RENEWABLE
RESOURCES
ELECTRICITY GENERATION
Non-renewable resources like coal, natural
gas, and nuclear fuel are used to generate
electricity in power plants through
combustion (coal and gas) or nuclear
fission (uranium).
TRANSPORTATION
Petroleum-derived fuels such as gasoline
and diesel power most vehicles, including
cars, trucks, ships, and airplanes.
HEATING AND COOKING
Natural gas and heating oil are commonly
used for heating homes, businesses, and
industrial processes. Propane, a byproduct
of natural gas processing and petroleum
refining, is also used for heating and
cooking in residential and commercial
settings.
MANUFACTURING
Non-renewable resources such as metals
(iron, aluminum, copper) and minerals
(gold, silver, rare earth elements) are used
in manufacturing processes to produce
vehicles, electronics, appliances,
infrastructure, and consumer goods.
CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
Petroleum-derived products like plastics,
synthetic fibers, fertilizers, and
pharmaceuticals are essential in various
industries, including agriculture,
healthcare, construction, and consumer
goods.
CONSTRUCTION
Non-renewable resources such as sand,
gravel, limestone, and gypsum are used as
construction aggregates and building
materials in infrastructure projects,
residential buildings, and commercial
developments.
SEATWORK
Direction: Answer the question below and put your answer on a whole
sheet of paper.
1. What are some key ways we can conserve natural resources in our daily
lives?
2. How can individual actions contribute to global efforts to protect the
environment?
3. What changes can we make to promote sustainability in our communities?
4. How can cities use new ideas to use fewer resources, handle trash better,
and be more sustainable while they grow quickly?
5. How can new technology like AI and biotech help solve environmental
problems and manage Earth's resources better?
