Question

Energy can be created from renewable and nonrenewable resources. Using the table as a guide, research and evaluate two forms of nonrenewable energy. Use reliable online resources, such as the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). Describe the following characteristics for each type of nonrenewable energy:

how and where it is extracted
benefits
risks it poses to the environment or living organisms
any other interesting information (such as its reliability, aesthetics, and social or cultural impacts)
Record the sources you used for obtaining the information.

Answer 1

Try to change up the wording if you can

Step-by-step explanation:

Type:

Petroleum (Crude Oil)

Extraction:

Petroleum can now be discovered in huge subsurface reservoirs that were once ancient seas. Under the surface of the land or the water, there are petroleum reservoirs. Utilizing enormous drilling equipment, their crude oil is extracted.

Benefits:

Petroleum-based products are used to power vehicles, heat buildings, and generate energy. Plastics, polyurethane, solvents, and countless more intermediate and finished commodities are produced by the petrochemical industry, which operates in the industrial sector.

Risks:

Being a fossil fuel, its combustion results in the release of harmful pollutants, particularly carbon dioxide, one of the most destructive greenhouse gases. The atmospheric greenhouse layer has changed as a result of human emissions of greenhouse gases, which is a key factor in regulating world temperatures.

Other:

Crude oil is formed from animal and plant matter

Answer 2

Here's for one of them:

Type: Nuclear

Extraction: Uranium (the fuel for nuclear energy) is typically mined using open pit or sub-surface mining. Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan are where the world's largest deposits are.

Benefits: Low cost (if you don't count building the power plant), reliable (unlike wind & solar energy which comes and goes, nuclear is readily available), no carbon emissions, produce more energy than coal power plants (most popular energy source), no air pollutants emitted (all other nonrenewable sources, aka. coal, oil, and natural gas, release harmful air pollutants)

Risks to environment: Radioactive wastes require to be safely secured away for thousands of years before they can reach safe levels, nuclear accidents can happen, mining uranium cause land disturbance, thermal pollution in nearby bodies of water or wherever cooling water is released (this can lead to dissolved oxygen levels decreasing in that body of water which can suffocate aquatic life)

Other info: Nuclear energy makes up 10% of the world's energy consumption.
