Define sublimation and deposition.
What is Sublimation: change directly from the solid to the gaseous state without becoming liquid Deposition: the geological process by which material is added to a landform or land mass
500
What is the difference between non renewable and renewable resources? Do they have anything to do with fossil fuels?
What is Renewable resources are resources like farm crops or trees that grow back and renew themselves and Non-renewable are resources that they only develop once. They both can be fossil fuels. (Example: Coal)
