Coal and petroleum are fossil fuels. Fossil Fuels are

• Nonrenewable resources that can be replaced within our lifetime.

• Renewable resources that cannot be replaced within our lifetime

• Nonrenewable resources that cannot be replaced within our lifetime

• Renewable resources that can be replaced within our lifetime.

Observe the table below. A group of students were investigating the formation of fossil fuels. Which statement represent the correct order for the formation of coal?

• IV, II, III, I and V

• IV, II, V, III and I

• II, I, IV, V, and III

• IV, III, I, II, and V

What do the processes of the formation of sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels have in common?

• Sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels are mixed with fossils to provide energy

• Sedimentary are the only type of rock where fossils are found that produce energy

• Sedimentary rock and fossil fuels are both formed over a long period of time with high pressure

• Fossil Fuels and sedimentary rocks are burned to release energy

Students use a stream table to model the effects on the surrounding terrain. The students try to control the environment so the results are similar to those in nature. All of the following variables are similar to a glacier to nature EXCEPT

• Gravity pulls the glacier downward

• The glacier erodes sediment as it movse

• The glacier moves slowly down the model

• The size of the glacier is comparable to a real glacier

Students wrote descriptions of slow changes to the Earth's surface. Which student provided a description of weathering?

• Student 3 because weathering is the only slow change that changes due to ice.

• Student 2 because weathering is when the pieces of sediments move from one place to another

• Student 3 Because weathering is when rock breaks down into sediments.

• Student 4 because a volcano erupts to make new land.

A fourth grade class went on a nature trail that led through an underground cave when they came to the spot pictured below. These features are called stalactites. How were these features most likely formed?

• They were formed by wind erosion and deposition of sediments

• They were formed by weathering of rock and deposition of sediments as water flowed through the soil

• They were formed by weathering and erosion by water

• They were formed by weathering of wind and the deposition of water in the cave.

Glaciers, giant rivers of ice, form in high places and move downhill. As they travel, the glaciers pick up dirt and rocks. They carve away mountains and leave deep valleys in their paths. As the ice melts, the loose soil and rocks get dumped on the land. The unloading of rocks by dirt by the glacier is called

• Weathering

• Deposition

• Erosion

• Runoff
