distribution of resources

In a geologic trap, this layer of rock prevents oil and gas from escaping to the surface

Humans can change the distribution of resources on Earth

An issue with overpumping wells is this

Temperature and precipitation help determine an area's climate

Many copper deposits are found near tectonic plate boundaries.

These are deposits of minerals that are large enough to be mined for a profit

Minerals and fossil fuels are not distributed evenly across Earth

All places on Earth have equal amounts of soil

This is the process by which commercially valuable resources are removed from Earth

Many copper deposits are found near tectonic plate boundaries

This is something on Earth that living things use to meet their needs

The difference between oil or natural gas formations and coal formations is this

These areas are where one tectonic plate sinks beneath another

When groundwater is withdrawn from aquifers quicker than nature can replenish it, this is

These resources can be replaced by natural processes in a relatively short amount of time

The measure of water's ability to flow through sediment and rock is this

These resources are used up faster than they can be replaced by natural processes

This is the loose, weathered material in which plants grow

Nonrenewable resources do NOT include

Demand for energy resources is decreasing

The amount of pore space in a material is this

This is the shape and steepness of the landscape

Most minerals are limited and nonrenewable
