A resource that comes from deep underground that we use to heat water and homes.
What is geothermal energy?
200
The process that results when fast, flowing water runs over rocks in a river bed and makes them smooth.
What is weathering?
200
Buried, dead organisms that are changed over time by heat and pressure produce these three fossil fuels.

What is a valley?

Plants grow best in soil that is darker or lighter in color?
What is darker?

Since they can be replenished in a short amount of time, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biofuel energy are considered this type of resource.
What is renewable?

When these move, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
What are tectonic plates?

A nonrenewable resource formed from the remains of prehistoric plants that is burned to produce heat and electricity.
What is coal?

The probable cause of a canyon become deeper and deeper over time.
What is a river running through it?

A scientist took pictures of a canyon once a year for many, many years.  He was probably trying to gather evidence about this....
What is how a river or other weathering can change the appearance of a canyon?

List three renewable resources.
What are food, animals, plants, sun, oxygen, wind, water, etc.


Not rocks, minerals, coal, oil, or natural gas.

When wind blows sand grains into the air and they settle into large "hills" of sand, this landform is created.
What are sand dunes?
400
The two processes that contribute to the transformation of decaying plants and animals into fossil fuels.
What are increased pressure and heat?
400
A large hole in the Earth's surface that fills with water over time and creates a crater lake is formed by the eruption of this.
What is a volcano?

What is a mudslide or landslide?
500
Evidence that a piece of land was once under water.
