Two Types of Natural Resources Advantage and Disadvantage of some energy resources Ways People Destroy Natural Resources *Pictures are not mine. @KidsEduc – Kids Educational Games

3. Two types of Natural
Resources/Energy
• Resources that can be
replaced or revised.
• Plants, Animals, water,
wind etc.
Renewable
Resources
• Resources that cannot be
replaced easily or it takes
a very long time to replace.
• Metals, oil, soil, coal etc.
Non-
renewable
Resources

4. ENERGY RESOURCES
●●● The tropical climate and
geological conditions also
provide several
possibilities to get clean
and cheap energy.

5. Energy
Resources
Advantage Disadvantage
Solar Energy
- Energy from sun
Free and
inexhaustible
The cost of
production is
expensive and
requires a large area
to collect them.
Hydrothermal
Energy or Hydro
Power/Hydro-
electric
-Use water or falling
water to generate
electricity.
Clean energy
Dependent on how
much water there is
in watersheds or
dams.

6. Energy
Resources
Advantage Disadvantage
Geothermal
Energy
-heat from the
ground
Less polluting than
crude oil
When they are
taken from deep
under the ground,
areas that have high
biodiversity are
destroyed
Wind Energy
-used to
generate
electricity from
the wind
Free and no
greenhouse gases
are made
Lots of wind
turbines are needed
to produce enough
power and it can
only be put in windy
areas

7. Fossil Fuel
- formed from plants and animals
that lived on Earth millions of
years ago.
Energy
Resources
Advantage Disadvantage
Natural Gas
-form of fossil fuel
(coal and crude oil)
Can produce
electricity and run
vehicles and factory
They are imported
and can cause many
environmental
problems.
