The process of carrying away sediment to a new location.
What is Erosion.
100
Landform resulting from Wind erosion moving around sand and changing the shape of the area.
What is a Sand Dune.
100
Three non-renewable resources.
What is coal, oil, and natural gas.
100
Burning garbage to make electricity.
What is Biofuel.
100
True or False: Fossil fuels require many, many, many years to form.
What is True.
200
The process of breaking down rock to tiny particles (sediment).
What is Weathering.
200
Landform created by a glacier moving down the surface of the earth very slowly eroding and moving sediment along its path.
What is a u-shaped valley.
200
What causes organic matter to change into fossil fuels?
What is organic matter decays because of the pressure and heat from rock layers.
200
Alternative Energy source that causes water from underwater springs to stay hot.
What is Geothermal.
200
True or False: It is better to use wind to produce energy than fossil fuels because wind is a renewable source of energy.
What is True.
300
Washing away sediments, smoothing Earth materials, sediments carried to mouth of river.
What is water erosion.
300
Landform made after many, many years of water cutting through the surface of the Earth.
What is a canyon.
300
What are two things fossils can tell us?
What are the size of the organism and when it lived.
300
Alternative energy source that comes from water.
What is Hydroelectric Energy.
300
Where can the youngest fossil in rock layers be found?
What is at the top layer.
400
The process of laying down sediment in a new location.
What is Deposition.
400
Landform created when a river reaches a lake or the sea and the water slows down and loses the power to carry sediment . The sediment is dropped at the mouth of the river
What is a Delta.
400
True or False. Burning fossil fuels releases energy that originally came from the Sun.
What is True: fossil fuels come from plant and animal remains
400
Alternative Energy that comes from corn and sugarcane (Ethanol), manure, wood waste, and yard clippings.
What is Biomass (Biofuels).
400
True or False: Coal and Oil are renewable resources.
What is False.
500
Rock formed from broken down sediment that has been pressed and cemented together.
What is Sedimentary Rock.
500
Main force that causes Erosion.
What is Gravity.
500
Main reason for conserving fossil fuels.
What is they are limited and will eventually run out.
500
Alternative energy that comes from deep inside the Earth.
What is Geothermal Energy.
500
Students find shell fossils in a canyon. Logical reason these fossils are located there.
