Which of the following is classified as one of Earth's nonrenewable resources because it takes millions of years to replace?

• sunlight

• trees

• water

• coal

Ice is splitting the rock above. The ice is contributing to slow changes in Earth's surface from-

• weathering

• deposition

• polishing

• erosion

Deposition from ice can cause slow changes to Earth's surface. Identify which is an example of deposition from ice.

• Glaciers drop rocks and sediment as they melt.

• Wind carries away pieces of rock and ice.

• Water carries away pieces of floating ice.

• Ice breaks apart rocks.
