Conservation

• the wise use of natural resources

• How fossil fuels are created

• Another way to recycle

• The process for fossil fuels to be created

Fossil Fuels

• Fuel composed of remains of organic matter

• Fuel created by weathered rocks

• Fuel that is renewable made from organic matter

• Non-renewable fuel that is made up of weathered rocks

Non-renewable resource

• Organic matter

• A resource that is made by humans over a quick period of time

• Resources that nature replenishes quickly

• Resources that nature cannot replenish quickly

Renewable Resource

• Organic matter

• A resource that is made by humans over a quick period of time

• Resources that nature replenishes quickly

• Resources that nature cannot replenish quickly

Glacier

• A large body of ice that forms U-shaped valleys

• A large body of ice that forms V-shaped valleys

• A large body of ice that forms canyons

• A landform that is created through deposition

Sediment

• The process by which fossil fuels are formed

• a large flat area

• The process by which all rocks are formed

• Bits of tiny rock, soil, sand and shells

Sedimentary Rock

• When lava cools and forms rock

• rock that is formed when sediments were pressed and cemented together

• Rock that is used to create fossil fuels

• Rocks that are only found in mountains and valleys.

Weathering

• The breaking down of rock

• The process by which fossil fuels are formed

• The final step after erosion and deposition have taken place

• An area where animals and wildlife live

Deposition

• The process of dropping sediment

• The process of sediment being carried away

• The process by which rock is being broken down

Erosion

• The process of dropping sediment

• The process of sediment being carried away

• The process by which rock is being broken down
