Why is WIND classified as a flow resource?

because it is only available for use where it is located

because it is capable of replenishing within a human lifetime

because it takes millions of years for it to form

Why is PETROLEUM classified as a nonrenewable resource?

because it takes millions of years for it to form

because it is capable of replenishing within a human lifetime

because it is only available for use where it is located

Why are CHICKENS classified as a renewable resource?

because it is capable of replenishing within a human lifetime

because it takes millions of years for it to form

because it is only available for use where it is located

What is an advantage of using nonrenewable resources like coal, minerals, and petroleum?

they are easy to transport and share

they have very little impact on the environment

they replenish quickly, so when used correctly will not easily run out

What is a an advantage of using flow resources like wind, moving water, and solar?

they have very little impact on the environment

they are easy to transport and share

they replenish quickly, so when used correctly will not easily run out

What is a an advantage of using renewable resources like fresh water, animals and plants?

when sustainably used are able to replenish and won't run out

they have very little impact on the environment

they are easy to transport and share

What does sustainability mean?

to maintain a resource continuously over time so you don't run out

to use up a resource as quickly as possible

to not use as much of a nonrenewable resource so you don't run out as quickly

What does deplete mean?

to replace what has been taken away

to manage a resource so it will continually produce for years to come

What does replenish mean?

to replace what has been taken away

to manage a resource so it will continually produce for years to come

What does the theory of continental drift state?

The continents were once joined in a super-continent and have moved over time

Continents are stationary and do not move

The Earth is broken into lithospheric plates that move due to convection currents

What do we find near plate boundaries?

earthquakes, mountains, and volcanoes

coal, fossils, seafloor spreading

Why do we find more resources in South America versus Africa?

South America is on a plate boundary

South America has seafloor spreading

What evidence was used to support Continental Drift and Pangea?

locations of fossils and coal deposits

the current location of the continents

What happened to the resources created millions of years ago when Pangea split?

the resources became spread out as the continents drifted apart

the resources randomly scattered across the earth

the resources become closer as the continents spread apart

Why are minerals like copper and gold found near plate boundaries?

these locations have lots of pressure and heat

these locations don't have much geologic activity

these locations were once connected through Pangea

Resources like copper and coal were created millions of years ago under specific conditions. Why does this classify them as nonrenewable?

it takes millions of years for them to replenish, so you run out of them before they refill

the specific conditions make it easy to make more of them in a lab

they replenish too fast and become too much for the earth to contain
