What is Coal Seam Gas?CSG is a type of unconventional natural gas. It is made up primarily of methane gas(generally 95-97%) and is found in coal seams at depths of 300m-1000m underground.
What are Renewable-resources?A renewable resource is a resource which can be used repeatedly because it is replaced naturally. Examples are: oxygen, fresh water, solar energy, timber, and biomass.
What are Non-renewable resources?A Non-renewable resource is a resource that take a very long time to be replaced,usually much longer than a human lifetime.
what is erosion?Erosion is the process by which the surface of the Earth gets worn down. Erosion can be caused by natural elements such as wind and glacial ice.

What is Fracking?A form of mining in which water and other chemicals are pumped into rocks, causing them to break and release the Non-renewable resouce.
What is Non-renewable energy? Non-renewable energy comes from sources that will run out or will not be replenished in our lifetimes or even in many, many lifetimes. Most non-renewable energy sources are fossil fuels: coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Carbon is the main element in fossil fuels
What are renewable energy?Renewable energy is from an energy resource that is replaced rapidly by a natural process such as power generated from the sun or from the wind. Most renewable forms of energy, other than geothermal and tidal power, ultimately come from the Sun.
What is hydroelectricity?Hydroelectricity is electricity that is made by the movement of water. It is usually made with dams that block a river to make a reservoir or collect water that is pumped there.
What is Wind energy?Wind power, form of energy conversion in which turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical or electrical energy that can be used for power.
What is Ocean energy?Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a means of converting into useful energy the temperature difference between surface water and water at depth. OTEC plants may be used for a range of applications, including electricity generation.
What is Flood irrigation?Flood irrigation is an ancient method of irrigating crops Very simply, water is delivered to the field by ditch, pipe, or or some other means and simply flows over the ground through the crop.
