My two nonrenewable resources are gold and silver.

Gold

• Gold is the most expensive precious metal on earth. Gold has been fascinating to people for ages. From bible times to present day people have bought and or traded gold for other valuables. Like these pictures here you can see modern day people trading and buying gold. Gold is measured in carrots then weight. Carrots are how much gold the bars or jewelry actually.

• Gold although abundant, is not used for energy it is only used as a form of jewelry or in some cases decoration.

Gold as energy

Dangers Transporting Gold

• The dangers transporting gold are that people try to steal it to sell it on the black market. People have been trying to get there hands on gold ever since the Ancient Egyptians to the California Gold Rush.

Effects gold has on the environment

• There are no real effects gold has on the environment other than people want it so much.

Silver

Silver although not as expensive as gold is still in the precious metals group. Silver is mostly used is dishes such as silver wear or silver platters.
