Materials found in the natural environment that people use for survival

• Natural Resources
• Nuclear Energy
• Fossil Fuels
• Renewable Resources

Two examples of renewable resources are

• oil and coal
• soil and water
• natural gas and uranium
• aluminum and copper

As a source of energy, modern industrialized nations depend heavily on

• fossil fuels
• solar energy
• hydroelectric plants
• uranium

Most of the world's known oil resources

• are distributed evenly around the world
• are located in Southwest Asia
• are located in China
• will be used up within the next five years

A problem associated with using coal as an energy source is

• acid rain
• the danger of explosion
• small reserves
• the need for more research into its use

Some energy resources that are renewable, or not in danger of running out, are

• solar energy and water power
• geothermal energy and uranium
• solar energy and oil
• water power and uranium
