NCERT Class 8 Geography Chapter 3: Mineral and Power Resources (Dr. Manishika) | English|CBSE
Tidal Energy
- Energy from tides
- Build dams at sea openings
- Russia, France, Gulf of Kachchh
Advantages | Disadvantages |
|
|
Now tidal energy comes from the tides so you have the diagram here which shows how during the period of low tide you have energy that is harnessed. In India, it is Gulf of Kachchh mainly. Besides India you have France and Russia which harness tidal energy. Dams are built at the sea openings and it is again non-polluting but it destroys the nearby wildlife mainly the equity life and it՚s difficult to harness. Next is Biogas energy.
Biogas Energy
- Dead plant and animal material, animal dung and kitchen waste
- Energy saved is energy generated
Advantages | Disadvantages |
|
|
Biogas is by the decay of animal and plant, you have the energy that is generated which again is used from kitchen waste, animal dung or from the dead plants. It՚s low cost, it՚s easy to operate but a major drawback is it causes greenhouse effect and that՚s one of the primary disadvantages again. Energy saved is energy generated, so this is a major idea that we follow from the non-conventional energy sources now nuclear energy.
Nuclear Energy
- Fission and Fusion reactions
- Uranium & thorium
- Greatest producer – USA & Europe
- Uranium – Rajasthan & Jharkhand
- Thorium – Monazite in Kerala
- Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu, Tarapur in Maharastra, Ranapratap Sagar near Kota in Rajasthan, Narora in UP, Kaiga in Karnataka
Advantages | Disadvantages |

Nuclear energy can be either of two types - Fission and Fusion reactions.
Fission reaction is breaking up of the particle and the fusion reaction you have collision of two smaller particles to from bigger particles. So fusion reaction uses hydrogen which is I could say a part of renewable energy on the other hand fission reaction uses uranium or thorium.
Right now, we have technology that harnesses through fission reaction as uranium and thorium which is non-renewable in nature. Now the greatest producer of uranium is USA and Europe. In India it՚s found in Rajasthan and Jharkhand. Thorium in India is found in the Monazite in Kerala.
The major nuclear reactor in India Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu, Tarapur in Maharashtra, Rana Pratap Sagar near Kota in Rajasthan, Narora in UP, Kaiga in Karnataka. These emits a large amount of energy but it generates a huge amount of radioactive waste which is harmful to the surrounding areas, to the wildlife in the nearby areas. Again, as I mentioned previously the classification of nuclear energy is still debatable so with this, we cover the major mineral resources and power resources.
