Non Renewable by Mind Map: Non Renewable

1. Fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal are examples of nonrenewable resources. ... Renewable resources are the opposite: Their supply replenishes naturally or can be sustained they take millions of years to form and known viable reserves are being depleted much faster than new ones are generated. Over 70% of the energy used in industrial processes comes from non-renewable sources, while fossil fuels are also used for many household purposes

2. t takes millions of years to form. Coal contains the energy stored by plants that lived hundreds of millions of years ago in swampy forests. Layers of dirt and rock covered the plants over millions of years. Coal is a fossil fuel. It comes from the remains of plants that died about 100 to 400 million years ago. Coal is a non-renewable energy source because it takes millions of years to form Coal, one of humankind's earliest fuel sources, is still used today to generate electricity. However, over time, there has been a shift in demand for cheaper and cleaner fuel options, such as the nonrenewable energy source of natural gas, and renewable options like solar power and wind energy.

3. Natural gas is formed from the remains of tiny sea plants and animals that died 300-400 million years ago. Approximately 90% of natural gas is composed of methane, but it also contains other gases such as propane and butane. Nonrenewable energy resources include coal, natural gas, oil, and nuclear energy. Once these resources are used up, they cannot be replaced, which is a major problem for humanity as we are currently dependent on them to supply most of our energy needs Once these resources are used up, they cannot be replaced, which is a major problem for humanity as we are currently dependent on them to supply most of our energy needs.

4. Petroleum traps energy, first originating from the Sun, that was captured by photosynthetic plankton in ancient oceans. Just like coal, petroleum is a type of fossil fuel. Petroleum is used to make gasoline, an important product in our everyday lives. However, petroleum, like coal and natural gas, is a non-renewable source of energy. It took millions of years for it to form, and when it is extracted and consumed, there is no way for us to replace it. Oil supplies will run out We use petroleum products to propel vehicles, to heat buildings, and to produce electricity.

5. the energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity. Nuclear is the largest source of clean power in the United States. It generates more than 800 billion kilowatt hours of electricity each year and produces more than 55% of the nation's emissions-free electricity Nuclear is the world's second largest source of low-carbon power (29% of the total in 2018). Over 50 countries utilise nuclear energy in about 220 research reactors. In addition to research, these reactors are used for the production of medical and industrial isotopes, as well as for training.
