Conservation of physical resources in the Caribbean Firstly the term Physical Resource needs to be defined. According to the book Modules in Social Studies‚ physical resources are those gifts of nature such as land‚ water‚ minerals‚ forestry‚ sunlight and wind. Human beings‚ utilize these physical resources to manufacture a variety of products. Physical Resources are classified into two categories-renewable and non-renewable. A renewable resource is one which can be reinforced‚ resupplied‚ replaced

and businesses‚ geothermal power plants use superheated fluids from the earth’s geothermal energy to generate electricity. When magma heats up the water from underground‚ it creates superheated fluids. When these super-heated fluids reach the surface they will be turned into steam. This steam will then power a turbine‚ which will in turn power a conductor. The conductor will then produce electrical energy. ¬¬¬¬¬¬To create enough steam to power the steam turbines‚ the superheated fluid must

Renewable energy is energy that originates from natural sources‚ which is a continuing and nonpolluting energy that is replenished due to its perpetual natural motion. These sources are commonly solar‚ geothermal‚ wind and tidal energies. Comparing different countries’ use of renewable energies -- in Portugal this year‚ close to 45 percent of its electricity will come from renewable energy sources (Rosenthal‚ 2010). This compared to 10.1 percent in the United States (U.S. Energy Administration

Energy Resources and their Uses in Producing Electricity Renewable energy is energy drawn from natural processes that are restored quicker than they are used up‚ some renewable energy resources are biomass‚ food‚ wind‚ waves‚ flowing water‚ solar and geothermal. The sun however‚ is known to be the ultimate energy resource since almost all energy resources originate from the sun’s energy. This is possible according to the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can’t be destroyed

The capacity to cause change‚ or to move matter in a direction it would not move if left alone. A child pushing a ball‚ the energy is transferred from the muscle of the child to the ball forcing the ball to move. What is kinetic energy? The energy of motion‚ moving matter performs work by transferring
