Non Renewable Final Review

Match

Match Non Renewable with Main Use, Formation, and Mining

• Main Use is Electricity, formed from giant plants in swamps, surface and sub surfae mined

• Main Use Heating and Electricity. formed from tiny marine organisms, and obtained by drilling

• Main Use is Transportation and obtained by drilling on land and sea

• Main Use is Transportation and obtained by Fracking

• Main Use is Electricty Production. found in most rocks, surface & sub surface mine
