Welcome to this deck on Energy Resources. In our modern world, we rely on a constant supply of energy for everything from lighting our homes to powering our transport. In this topic, we'll explore where this energy comes from. We'll focus on the crucial difference between renewable and non-renewable energy resources, and we'll look at the advantages, disadvantages, and environmental impacts of each one. Understanding these trade-offs is key for your GCSE Physics exam.

Energy resources are divided into two main categories. The first is non-renewable resources. These are resources that are finite, meaning they are used up faster than they are made, and will one day run out. The main examples are fossil fuels, which include coal, oil, and natural gas, and nuclear fuel.
