Most parts of the world do not have any natural resources.

North America has many natural resources, but South America does not have any.

Most places on Earth have the same amounts and types of natural resources.

How do renewable and nonrenewable resources compare?

Renewable resources are unlimited, while nonrenewable resources are limited.

Renewable resources are man-made, while nonrenewable resources are naturally occurring.

Coal is mined from several locations in the US, such as the San Juan Basin of northwestern New Mexico. This fossil fuel formed...

from the burial and decomposition of plant and animals millions of years ago.

from molten rock deep in the Earth's interior seeping up to the crest.

as a byproduct of landfill waste.

as a product of photosynthesis from really old plants.

The graph shows the volume of known petroleum (oil) in different regions of the world as estimated in 1997. Based on the large volume of petroleum in the red Region 2, what kind of activity must have occurred there in the past?

Large amounts of dead plants and animals were buried millions of years ago and then trapped by underground rock formations to create petroleum reservoirs.

Flooding in this area resulted in rapid chemical weathering that created petroleum as rocks were broken down.

Mass wasting from northern regions resulted in the deposition of underground petroleum reserves.

Large amounts of carbon dioxide were released into the air and precipitated back down as petroleum.

Which of the following is a problem that comes from using fossil fuels?

Burning fossil fuels release greenhouse gasses like carbon dioxide

It provides a lot of jobs for individuals.

Fossil fuels are found everywhere for easy use.

Fossil fuel use is currently a less efficient and more expensive form of gathering energy.

What is the reason why some places lack fresh water while others have plenty of fresh water?

Water sources are unequally distributed, and much of the freshwater is tied up as ice in glaciers and ice caps.

Some freshwater sources are underground there is no technology to access them.

Water sources are not available to some people because they live in a region where the water cycle is not active.

Some places lack fresh water due to improper damming of natural waterways.

solar and wind power are options available to people interested in producing electricity while reducing their reliance on fossil fuels. a benefit of using these alternative sources is that:

Preserve natural resources for future generations

Increase the number of jobs required for mining coal

Ensure that supplies of fossil fuels will never decrease

Cost more to generate than all other sources of electricity
