Non-renewable resources

If there are renewable resources, there are non-renewable resources. A non-renewable resource is a source that can NOT be replaced.

Some examples are oil, coal, metal, rock and sand. These are non-renewable resources. Oil comes from animals, minerals and vegetables sources. Coal is from “Pete” and it form for over millions of years. Metal is from rocks and minerals. Metal is related to copper, gold, iron, lead, silver, tin and more than this. Rock is from the earth’s rocky crust. Mountain and canyons have different kinds of rocks. Sand is from deserts and shore. The size of 1 grain of sand is 1/400 of an inch. Remember that non-renewable resources can’t be replaced.

 

How Humans use nonrenewable resources

          I was surprised what happens to the earth and its ozone when we use nonrenewable resources. One example is that when gasoline and diesel fuel (fossil fuels) come out of cars they start to destroy our ozone and then when our ozone is destroyed human life will be gone as we know it. The world should also not take gold or any type of rock or mineral to make jewelry out of because when they take it out the rocks and minerals it is just like taking out a piece of the earth so it is bad to take out pieces of the earth. One more reason is that when we use coal we also destroy the ozone so coal is just as bad as other fossil fuels so the world should not use fossil fuels or natural gas’s.

 

Non-renewable Sources Found In Maryland

          My own research surprised me when I found out that fossils have been found in Maryland. I also learned a lot of other cool and interesting facts. Here are some facts about coal, there is mineral in coal called petroleum. Rocks are also non-renewable because they take millions of years to be made. Coal mines are also non-renewable resources resource because coal is like rock it takes a long time to be made and a coal mine is like coal. Oil is a big part of a normal person in Maryland because we use so much of it but America only has 2% of the world’s natural fuel. Oil is also a non-renewable source it is found very deep underground and this has a relation to rock like coal did it takes millions of years to make it again. Fossil fuels are natural but affect the Earth in a very harsh way by making acid rain and that kills plants and fish. It also pollutes. There are many natural resources found in Maryland and this is just a small portion of them and maybe you can find some more.
