There are four types of nonrenewable energy. Examples above.
~OIL~
First there is oil. Oil is formed by remains of plants and animals. You can find Oil in the bottom of the ocean. You can find it in these few places:
Sandi Arabia,
Russia,
United States,
Iran,
And China.
Oil is made by the remains of plants and animals. What Happens is the sun and heat from the pressure and it just melts into this sticky gue.
~Nuclear energy~
Second is Nuclear energy. This is created by a rock type thing called Uranium. Uranium gives off waves and it causes cancer. The nuclear power plant factory works like a big cup shaped thing and scientists take just one atom of uranium and breaks it in half which explodes like a nuclear bomb and it explodes under ground and it boils water and the steam spins this turbine and it turns into energy for cars and others.
~Coal~
Coal is a blackish brownish sedimentary rock composed mostly of carbon. They just use coal because it is really cheap. It is not renewable because it takes million and millions of years to create. It’s formed by dead plants and animals getting smashed.
