Transforming Energy
• Law of conservation of Energy: energy is neither created nor destroyed only transformed.
• Some energy transformation is not useful for us.– Example: Power lines transform energy into heat.

Fossil Fuels
• Formed by decay of ancient plants and animals
• When burned they produce carbon dioxide and water
• Petroleum, • Natural Gas, and coal
![Page 11: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Petroleum
• Fossil Fuel made of Hydrocarbons• Produced by separating the liquid oil in a
process called Fractional distillation.– Oil is pumped into the bottom of a tower and
heated. Materials rise to the top depending on boiling point and are collected. Some are pulled from the bottom, like asphalt.
– Other uses: Plastics, lubricants, asphalt

Petroleum and by-products
• List four things in the class room made from petroleum.

Natural Gas• Composed mainly of Methane.• Natural gas contains more energy per kilogram
than either petroleum or coal.• Produces fewer pollutants than other fossil fuels
![Page 14: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Coal
• Solid fossil fuel found underground• One fourth of our energy comes from coal.• Coal is formed from organic material
deposited in ancient swamps. • Burning coal results in more pollutants

Generating Electricity
![Page 16: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Coal generation
![Page 17: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Electricity Generation
• Fuel is burned to heat a boiler of water• Steam is produced and causes the turbine to
spin• Turbine is connected to an electric generator– Electric current is produced when the spinning
turbine shaft rotates magnets inside the generator.
![Page 18: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Simple Electric Generator
• When the coil is turned, the magnets cause movement in the electrons within the coil.
The movement of electrons causes an electric current.

Nonrenewable Resources
• Cannot be replaced by natural processes as quickly as they are used.
• All fossil fuels are nonrenewable.

Carbon dioxide
1. According to the graph by how many parts per million (ppm) did the concentration of CO2 increase from 1958 to 2000?
![Page 22: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Nuclear Energy
![Page 23: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Nuclear Power
• Energy is released when the nucleus of an atom breaks apart.
• Nuclear power plants produced 8% of all power in 2003.
• There were 104 nuclear reactors at 65 power plants in the US.
![Page 24: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Core of the Nuclear Reactor
![Page 25: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Nuclear power
• Only certain elements– Uranium 235– Naturally occurring at 0.7% so it is enriched to 3-
5%Inside the reactor core fuel pellets are placed
in a tube the core contains 100,000 Kg of uranium in fuel rods
Energy released by 1 gram = 3 million kg of coal
![Page 26: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Nuclear fission• A neutron hits a U-235 nucleaus and splits it
apart into two smaller nuclei and energy is released
![Page 27: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Risks of Nuclear power
• Mining of Uranium causes enviornmental damage.
• Coolant water must be cooled before discharge
• The most serious is the release of radioactivity
![Page 28: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Disposal of Nuclear waste
• Low-level waste:– Have low radioactivity – Short half-lives– Can be released into the air when diluted.
![Page 29: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• High-Level Waste:– The spent fuel rods– Stored in water – Will remain radioactive for for tens of thousands
of years– Can be sealed in glass and buried in salt mines.

Renewable Energy Resources
• A Renewable resource is an energy source that is replaced nearly as quickly as it is used
![Page 31: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Solar
• Use Photovoltaic cell that converts radiant energy from the Sun directly into electrical energy. Also called solar cells
![Page 32: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
How a photovoltaic cell works
• Only about 7 to• 11% efficient
![Page 33: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Uses of Solar energy
• More expensive in 2003 than burning fossil fuels
• Another method is to use the sun to heat a fliud that then heats steam toturn a turbin to generate power.
![Page 34: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Hydroelectric power• Electricity is produced by the energy of
moving water
![Page 35: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Advantages of Hydro power
• 8% of all US power is made this way• Efficient: because no heat is involved that can
take away from the energy used to turn the turbines
• Without any pollution• Dams form lakes that can be used for drinking
water and irrigation
![Page 37: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Disadvantages
• Have to have a place to build the dam near the regions that need to power
• Destroys the area around the dam• Fish cannot migrate – Fish ladders are added to dams but still reduce the
fish.
![Page 38: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Tidal Energy
• Gravity from the sun and moon bulge the earths oceans (tides)
• Hydroelectric power can be generated by the tides. As the tide comes in and out it turns a turbine
• Pollution free• Only a few places have large enough tides to
produce electricity
![Page 39: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Wind Energy
• Windmills historically pump water, grind grain.• For electricity they are 20% efficient( and
improving)• Only a few places have enough wind• Noisy• Change landscape appearance, disrupt bird
migrations.• They do not consume any nonrenewable resource
and do not pollute
![Page 40: Earth’s Energy Sources Chapter 22 Pearson, 16 Glenco](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e735503460f94b72796/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Geothermal energy
• Energy from the earth.• 16% efficient • Can release gases and bring brine to the
surface• Only can be used where magma is close to the
surface.

Alternative fuels
• Biomass fuels; burned in the presence of oxygen: wood sugarcane, fibers, rice hulls, animal manure.
• Hydrogen gas fuel cells
