It is important to conserve nonrenewable resources because these resources –

may be used up in the near future.

Fossil fuels include coal, oil and natural gas. Fossil fuels are classified as nonrenewable because they —

take millions of years to be replaced.

Oil formation starts when organisms in the ocean die and then –

settle to the bottom and are buried in sediments.

What provides the best evidence of what the environment was like in a rock formed millions of years ago?

The fossil plants and animals found in the rock.

Fossils are best used as evidence about which of these?

The plants and animals that lived long ago.

What does W.E.D stand for...

Weathering, Erosion, and deposition

slow moving sheets of ice.
frequent lava flows.
3
Which kind of organism/fossil in the rock layers below a forest would support it was a large lake long ago?
Tall trees
Small reptiles
Freshwater fish
Flowering plants
4
It is important to conserve nonrenewable resources because these resources –
are easier to find than other resources.
may be used up in the near future.
form from the remains of plants or animals.
have less stored energy than renewable resources.
5
Which forces create landforms such as deltas, dunes, and canyons?
Moving wind and water
Earthquakes and landslides
Volcanic eruptions
Planetary movements
6
Fossil fuels include coal, oil and natural gas. Fossil fuels are classified as nonrenewable because they —
provide much of the energy we use.
require expensive equipment.
take millions of years to be replaced.
can be found all over Earth’s surface.
7
Oil formation starts when organisms in the ocean die and then –
settle to the bottom and are buried in sediments.
decay completely so that their matter is recycled.
get eaten by larger organisms that receive their energy.
are carried by currents all over the planet.
8
What provides the best evidence of what the environment was like in a rock formed millions of years ago?
The fossil plants and animals found in the rock.
The sediments from which the rock is made.
The time when the rock appears to have formed.
The kinds of rocks above and below the rock layer.
9
Fossils are best used as evidence about which of these?
The processes that change rocks over time.
How best to conserve natural resources.
The plants and animals that lived long ago.
What forces drive the water cycle on Earth.
10
Which property of soil could students determine by rubbing a sample between their fingers?
The soil’s ability to support life
The texture of the soil
The color of the soil
The processes that formed the soil
11
A delta is made of sediments deposited at the mouth of a river. The delta is formed when –
