Two nonrenewable resources are wind and . Wind orgins just from the air motion. Although we may not see the air moving it can measure its motion by the force that it puts on objects. For example, on a windy day leaves moving or trees swaying tells that the wind is blowing. Officially, a wind vane measures the wind direction and an anemometer measures the wind speed.Another renewable resource is water, (1)water is the signature of our planet.
We are the blue planet. The planet of life.The latest discoveries in astrophysics point to water not being a natural terrestrial product but imported from the edges of our solar system.Life on Earth evolved from water, a marriage of oxygen and hydrogen to form the most recognized chemical code, H2O. 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water. 80% of fruit and vegetables are made of water. Our bodies are 50 - 70% water and we lose three bucket loads every week or about 2.5 liters on average escapes our body every day. 65% is removed in urine & feces, followed by 20% secreted through our skin and 15% through our lungs.(1)
Two non renewable resources are fossil fuels and nuclear power. (2)As we see daily proof, fossil fuels make the world go round. For the past century, and especially the past 50 years, they've created vast fortunes for individuals and entire nations, powered the global economy, and provoked geopolitical tensions and sometimes wars. No news there. But did you know that current events on this petroleum-addled planet are closely linked to weird and wonderful plants that lived hundreds of millions of years ago.
Many people think that fossil fuels—oil, coal, and natural gas—come from the bodies of dinosaurs that ruled the earth during the mid to late Mesozoic era, 213 to 65 million years ago. Not so. The origin of oil is still a matter of scientific controversy. However, it is generally believed that the world's great oil deposits were formed from diatoms.(2) Energy changes earth system because without energy and all the thing that we put into the earth the earth would probably be a more healthy but we couldn’t live without it. Human consumption on the gases form energy can hurt your body because they are un healthy gases being put into our earth. The overall cost of he earths energy is major pollution in the air and the benefit are that we have energy which makes our everyday lives easier.
