  Natural Resouces Everything on this planet uses resources to survive. “Resources we take from the environment are called natural resources.” (Exploring Natural Resources) Renewable and nonrenewable are the two categories that comprise of natural resources. Nonrenewable resources are resources that once taken out of the environment cannot be replenished or take an extremely long time to be created again. And examples of nonrenewable resources are fossil fuels and minerals. Although these two examples can be replenished it does take some time to be created naturally. Renewable resources are resources that are easily replenished by the planet. “Renewable resources are essentially inexhaustible or can be replaced relatively rapidly.” (Exploring Natural Resources) Solar, wind, and wood are just some examples of renewable resources. While renewable resources can be replenished easily, they can also be depleted to a point where they become scarce or too expensive. This is when we...

  Energy is all around us and it is the reason why there is life on the planet. Three types of energy are Electromagnetic, Kinetic, and Potential energy. From there energy breaks down into many subcategories. The first and second Law of Thermodynamics are the ones that impact planet earth the most. The first law states “Energy can undergo transformations among its various states, but it is never created or destroyed; therefore, the energy content of the universe remains constant.” (Freedman) This means the amount of energy in the universe should remain the same. Energy can change forms, but it will not create any more energy. The second Law of Thermodynamics states “transformations of energy can occur spontaneously only under conditions in which there is an increase in the entropy of the universe.” (Freedman) This means when energy is transferred it cannot go back to the original form unless the environment changes. The variety of lifeforms on the planet allows organisms to thriv...
