They form from the decay or organic matter over millions of years ago. Natural resources are typically used for economic gain. However, some resources are simply used for the existence of life, such as water. Natural resources have an environmental impact. Raw material extraction can lead to soil degradation, biodiversity loss, damage to ecosystems, and increased global warming. Gases can also lead to acid rain and air pollution, especially as these gases build up over time and create a lasting effect. ]]> 2020-09-04 13:48:21 UTC https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/720833217 addisonmorris1 https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722898458 Coal power is the burning of coal for the generation of electricity. 
It is formed by a thermal power station that burns the coal. Coal power is mainly used for electricity. Consequences of coal use include air pollution and the deaths that come from the subsequent poor air quality.]]> 2020-09-05 23:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722898458 addisonmorris1 https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722899037 Petroleum power is the use of petroleum to propel vehicles, heat buildings, and produce electricity. It is formed when large quantities of dead organisms, mostly zooplankton and algae, are buried underneath sedimentary rock and subjected to both intense heat and pressure. Petroleum is produced by oil drilling. Petroleum products include transportation fuels, fuels for heating and electricity generation, and asphalt and road oil.]]> 2020-09-05 23:22:53 UTC https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722899037 addisonmorris1 https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722902135 Natural gas is a naturally occurring fossil fuel consisting primarily of methane. It forms from the plants, animals, and microorganisms that lived millions of years ago. People inject liquids at high pressures to open existing fissures in order to extract natural gas from rocks. This is a process called fracking. Fracking can intentionally cause minor earthquakes, but it has also been linked to larger earthquakes.]]> 2020-09-05 23:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722902135 addisonmorris1 https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722905406 The Industrial Revolution was energized by coal and eventually by petroleum and natural gas. Fossil fuels that drive steam and electrical engines made possible a huge increase in the amount of productive energy available to humans. We as a society only have 52.8 years left of fossil fuel reserves.]]> 2020-09-05 23:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722905406 addisonmorris1 https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722907437 2020-09-05 23:43:01 UTC https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722907437 addisonmorris1 https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722907604 2020-09-05 23:43:27 UTC https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722907604 addisonmorris1 https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722907704 2020-09-05 23:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722907704 addisonmorris1 https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722907964 2020-09-05 23:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722907964 addisonmorris1 https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722908543 2020-09-05 23:45:41 UTC https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722908543 addisonmorris1 https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722908818 2020-09-05 23:46:21 UTC https://padlet.com/addisonmorris1/tacnmf6pqvxnghlt/wish/722908818
