WHAT ARE NON LIVING RESOURCES? Non 

living resources are resources that are that 

don't have a heart or any other body parts. 

Wood is a non living resource. It is used to 

build houses, make wooden buckets, or 

another example is furniture made of 

wood.Water is another non living resource.We 

need water to drink and travel across the 

ocean.Groundwater is water that has been 

underground for as little as a day, or as long as 

1 billion years!

                     Oil is a non living resource. Oil is used 

to make vehicles run,make electricity, and even make 

plastic! Like earlier, we talked a little about 

groundwater. Here are some facts about 

groundwater:

* Groundwater is used for growing crops!                 

* 2 billion of us drink groundwater every day! * 

Modern groundwater is groundwater that has been 

underground for under 50 years! Wind is a non living 

resource. Wind turbines collect wind and give 

electricity. WHAT IS GEOTHERMAL ENERGY? 

Geothermal Energy is a non living resource that can 

harm the environment.In the book, Geothermal 

Energy, on page 4, it says, Today, more than 

80% of the world's energy comes from non 

renewable resources such as fossil fuels.We 

use a lot of geothermal energy! But it will harm 

nature if we use it too much. Geothermal power 

plants give off a lot of pollution because it is 

unhealthy to the environment. WHAT IS WIND 

POWER? Wind power is when wind is collected 

through wind turbines and turns in to 

electricity. Wind power from a wind turbine can 

power a house.-Even when the power is out! 

This island in Denmark, used to use a lot of 

fossil fuels like regular car gases back in the 

1980's-1990's. But, now, they use 

EVERYTHING that is electric. For an example, a 

man has a wind turbine for his house.Even 

when there is a blizzard! Certain places like 

Denmark have a TON of snow and blizzards are 

very common. Brisk winds can blow an 

umbrella inside out   if the wind is strong 

enough. Wind blows very swift and violently 

over prairies because there are no things to

block it. Uneven surface blocks wind 

making the wind change direction 

where it is heading.People in airplanes 

sometimes feel rough patches of wind 

known as "turbulence". Jet streams 

flow far over the earth because there 

isn't anything to block it. Jet streams 

may be 3-10 miles off the ground.                                            

So, I hope you were paying attention about 

earths non-living resources. Because this book 

has questions about what you've learned. If 

you get stuck on a question, you can flip back 

where the answer is. So, let's get started! 1. 

What are earth's non-living resources?       2. 

What is geothermal energy?                      3. 

How many miles off the ground are jet 

streams?
