What is a fossil fuel?

formed from dead organic materials from millions of years ago

rocks formed by sediments compacting together

dead marine life was buried by sediment on the ocean floor; heat and pressure turned it into oil

salt water evaporates and leaves behind halite

formed in ancient swamps where dead plants piled up to form peat; heat and pressure turned into into coal

combines with other minerals to form ore

formed in ancient swamps where dead plants piled up to form peat; heat and pressure turned into into coal

salt water evaporates and leaves behind halite

combines with other minerals to form ore

dead marine life was buried by sediment on the ocean floor; heat and pressure turned it into oil

rock that is combined with high amounts of minerals or metals

decaying plant and animal matter that has been heated and pressurized into coal

dead marine life that has built up on the bottom of the ocean

materials that undergo a chemical process

Why are metals like gold, silver and copper found near volcanoes?

they form when hot fluids with dissolved metals escape from cooling magma and cool to form into rock

they form when salt water evaporates and leaves them behind on the ground

they are found where oceans existed millions of years ago

they form deep in the earth at the bottom of mountains

Why are salts like halite found in similar places?

they form when salt water evaporates and leaves them behind on the ground

they are found where oceans existed millions of years ago

they form deep in the earth at the bottom of mountains

they form when hot fluids with dissolved metals escape from cooling magma and cool to form into rock

Where is most sunlight distributed on Earth?

the equator where the day and nighttime are mostly equal

near the poles where daytime is long in summer and short in winter

coastal areas where cloud cover is common

the southern hemisphere by Antarctica because there are not many trees to block sun rays

Why is it difficult to use solar power near the Earth's poles?

daytime is long in the summer and short in the winter

coastal areas where cloud cover is common

the equator where the day and nighttime are mostly equal

the southern hemisphere by Antarctica because there are not many trees to block sun rays

Why is freshwater considered a renewable resource?

the water cycle recycles the water

new water is constantly being found under the earth's surface

lots of water is frozen in glacial deposits

it isn't formed from decaying organic matter

Freshwater is limited to 1% accessibility. What contributes to freshwater being limited? (select multiple)

it evaporates quickly in desert regions

most is frozen in glaciers and icecaps

How does freshwater shape the land?

rainwater flows down mountains and collects in valleys forming ponds or lakes

it remains frozen in glaciers and icecaps

How do groundwater / aquifers work?

they have a permeable (spaces and pores) rock layer that lets water filter through and gather underneath

they have heavy rain that makes water flow down mountains and collect in valleys

The cause: As humans consume more nonrenewable resources....what is the effect?

there is less distribution of that resource on earth

there is more distribution of that resource on earth

The Aral Sea was the 4th largest lake in the world. People's need for irrigation of crops almost dried it up. This is an example of...

demand for a resource causing less distribution of the resource

less demand causing more of a resource to appear

demand for a resource causing more distribution of a resource

too much demand causing more of a resource to appear

How do dams & canals affect freshwater?

they block and change the course of freshwater systems; this increases evaporation

they can complete drain an aquifer

can form sink holes from all the water being removed

How does pumping fresh water from aquifers affect the environment? (select 2)

they can complete drain an aquifer

can form sink holes from all the water being removed

they block and change the course of freshwater systems; this increases evaporation

How does extracting minerals and fossil fuels affect humans and the earth? (select all that apply)

the amount available for future generations diminishes since it takes millions of years for them to form

mining can cause severe damage to the local landscape, wildlife, and pollute water sources and soil

getting the resources can be dangerous for workers

it can increase the rate of evaporation for local lakes and streams
