How are fossils & energy related
- 1. HOW ARE FOSSILS & ENERGY RELATED?
- 2. What do you think these pictures look like? They look like parts of animals that were once alive
- 3. Fossils A fossil is the remains of a living organism. (It can be a plant or an animal) Includes bones, teeth, hair or shells
- 4. Sometimes, living things leave a mark in a material like: mud; by time the materials can harden into rock & these marks are saved in the rocks, this is called: Imprint & it is a type of fossils.
- 5. How are fossils made? A fish lives deep in the Ocean.
- 6. It died & shortly sinks in the ocean’s floor.
- 7. After few weeks, the soft parts of the fish’s body begin to decay.
- 8. After several months, only the skeleton “bones” of the fish is left.
- 9. The bones are covered with the sand.
- 10. As the time passes, the bones become hard like: rocks & fossils are formed.
- 11. Steps of fossils formation When the animal dies it is buried fast. The soft parts of the animal (ex. skin) decay. Over a long time the sand and bones become rock. Fossils are made.
- 12. TO BECOME A FOSSIL Must die in a wet environment Must be buried quickly so the organism is not eaten, decomposed or weathered. Must have parts capable of being fossilized…hard parts.
- 13. Fuels To run a car & heat our homes or a plane we need fuel
- 14. What is fuel? A material that is burned to give energy.
- 15. Fossils fuels - Fuels that forms from the remains of plants & animals are called: Fossil fuels Coal Oil Natural gas
- 16. Coal - Coal is formed when plants of the swamps die & buried for many years.
- 17. Oil -Oil is found in rocks deep below the earth's surface. -People use pumps to bring oil to the surface.
- 18. Natural gas
- 19. Resources of energy They are the sources from where we get energy. Resources of energy can be: 1) Renewable resources. 2) Non-renewable resources.
- 20. RENEWABLE RESOURCES They are the resources of energy that can be used again & again “replaced”. Examples: 1) Solar energy: Is the energy from the sun that is used to produce electricity. {Some cars moves by solar energy}
- 21. 2) Wind energy: The energy of the wind is used to produce electricity using wind turbines.
- 22. 3) Moving water energy: Is the energy of “water falls” is used to turn turbines & produce electricity.
- 23. NON - RENEWABLE RESOURCES They are the resources of energy that cannot be re-used “used again” if they finish. Examples: Fossil fuels: Fossil fuels take millions of years to form & once they are used up, they are gone forever
- 24. RENEWABLE / NON - RENEWABLE RESOURCES? Solar energy Renewable resource
- 25. Coal Non - Renewable resource : Because it’s a fossil fu
- 28. Fire “which we make it using coal” Non - Renewable resource : Because we use coal to make it & coal is a fossil fuel
- 29. Natural gas Non - Renewable resource : Because it’s a fossil fu
- 30. Oil Non - Renewable resource : Because it’s a fossil fu
