žNon-renewable resource: a resource that is in limited
supply and cannot be replaced once it has been extracted and used.
žFor example, perhaps your shirt and jeans are made from
cotton, which comes from a plant. Farmers harvest the cotton crop every year,
but the plants grow back and produce more. Cotton, like Incense-cedar trees and
all growing plants and trees, are renewable resources! Young saplings grown in
nurseries can be replanted to grow a new forest as well as a forest can grow
from natural regeneration of the seeds.
žNon-renewable resources are things that are extracted or
mined from the Earth, such as petroleum, coal and metals. These resources were
created many millions of years ago, when the Earth was forming. Once they are
taken out of the ground, they are not replaced. Since there is only so much
oil, and the earth cannot replace the oil that is pumped out, we will
eventually run out of this non-renewable resource.
Activity #9 and #10
1. Copy this information into your notes.
2. Choose a partner, you are going to create a collage in your iPad (with images) about Natural Resources
3. Make a short description about it. Explain if it's renewable or non renewable, where we can find it, etc.
