What is Canada's main export?
The primary components of U.S. energy trade with Canada are petroleum, natural gas, and electricity. Canada is the United States' largest oil supplier and the fifth-largest energy producing country in the world. Canada provides about 16% of U.S. oil imports and 14% of total U.S. consumption of natural gas.

What are the main natural resources of Canada?
Energy resources include natural gas, crude oil, crude bitumen (oil sands) and coal. Mineral resources include gold-silver, nickel-copper, copper-zinc, lead-zinc, iron, molybdenum, uranium, potash and diamonds. Timber reserves include timber stocks that are physically accessible and available for harvesting.

What are three examples of natural resources?
Examples of resources supplied by nature:
- Fossil fuels (petroleum, natural gas, coal)
- Minerals (diamonds, gold, copper, silver)
- Natural vegetation, forests, timber.
- Animals (salmon, whales, deer, etc.)
- Air, wind.
- Water, water power, wetlands, watercourses, lakes.
- Sunlight.
- Soil, topsoil.

What is the best natural resource?
Top 10 Natural Resources in the World
- Water. While the earth may be mostly water, only about 2-1/2 percent of it is fresh water.
- Air. Clean air is necessary for the existence of life on this planet.
- Coal. Coal is estimated to be able to last less than 200 more years.
- Oil.
- Natural gas.
- Phosphorus.
- Other Minerals.
- Iron.

What are the three types of natural resources?
Natural resources are also classified based on their renewability:
- Renewable natural resources: these are resources that can be replenished. Examples of renewable resources include sunlight, air, and wind.
- Non-renewable natural resources: these resources form extremely slow and do not naturally form in the environment.

Is a glass a natural resource?
Save natural resources. Glass is a resource efficient material which is made of abundant natural raw material such as sand and glass waste (cullets). Glass is a fully recyclable material that can be recycled in close loop over and over again.

How are natural gas and petroleum different?
Oil and natural gas were formed from the remains of prehistoric plants and animals—that's why they're called fossil fuels. Some seeped out at the Earth's surface, but most of the petroleum hydrocarbons were trapped by nonporous rocks or other barriers. These underground traps of oil and gas are called reservoirs.

Where do we get most of the energy we use?
In addition to direct solar power from photovoltaic and solar thermal sources, coal, oil, natural gas, biomass, and even the wind and hydropower we harness to generate electricity originally derive their energy content from the effects of sunlight.

What uses the most energy in your home?
Modern comfort comes at a price, and keeping all those air conditioners, refrigerators, chargers, and water heaters going makes household energy the third-largest use of energy in the United States. Here's what uses the most energy in your home: Cooling and heating: 47% of energy use. Washer and dryer: 13% of energy
12
What is the main source of energy for the Earth?
The Sun is the primary source of energy for Earth's climate system is the first of seven Essential Principles of Climate Sciences. Principle 1 sets the stage for understanding Earth's climate system and energy balance. The Sun warms the planet, drives the hydrologic cycle, and makes life on Earth possible.
13
What are the two main sources of energy for the Earth?
The Earth has two basic sources of energy - that reaching the Earth from the Sun (Solar Energy) and that reaching the surface of the Earth the Earth itself (Internal or Geothermal Energy). Solar Energy - reaches the Earth in the form of radiant energy, and makes up 99.987% of the energy received by the Earth.
14
What keeps the Earth from getting too hot or too cold?
As the sun goes down, the Earth cools by giving off infrared radiation. Because greenhouse gases absorb part of this radiation, the atmosphere warms and keeps the Earth from getting too cold.
15
What protects the Earth from getting too hot or too cold?
The atmosphere protects Earth like a big blanket of insulation. It absorbs the heat from the Sun and keeps the heat inside the atmosphere helping the Earth to stay warm, called the Greenhouse Effect. The ozone layer helps to protect the earth from the Sun's radiation.
16
What causes the runaway greenhouse effect on Venus?
Runaway greenhouse effect. A runaway greenhouse effect is a process in which a net positive feedback between surface temperature and atmospheric opacity increases the strength of the greenhouse effect on a planet until its oceans boil away. An example of this is believed to have happened in the early history of Venus.
17
Why does lightning not hit the ground on Venus?
Studying how lightning is generated in a planet's atmosphere is important because the phenomenon can raise the temperature and pressure of a small portion of a world's overall atmosphere to a very high degree, enabling molecules to form. This would otherwise not occur at standard atmospheric temperatures and pressures.
18
Why does Mars have a thicker crust than Earth?
As Mars is smaller than Earth but of a similar age, its outer layers have cooled and solidified to a greater depth than Earth's. However, the crust is far from uniform in thickness, with the crust in the south of the planet being thicker and older than that in the north.
19
Is Mars a rock or gas planet?
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are called "rocky" or "terrestrial" planets. They are similar to Earth in composition. Heat from the Sun evaporated lightweight elements like hydrogen and helium into interplanetary space. Mostly rock and metal was left in this zone and clumped together to form the inner rocky planets.
20
What is Mars made of rock or gas?
Mars is the "Red Planet" for a very good reason: its surface is made of a thick layer of oxidized iron dust and rocks of the same color. Maybe another name for Mars could be "Rusty." But the ruddy surface does not tell the whole story of the composition of this world.
