What are fossil fuels?
Coal, oil, and natural gas are fossil fuels.
What are the inner planets?
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
What is a food web?

What is inherited behavior?
Inherited behavior is a behavior that is passed from parents to offspring.
What is the flow of electric charges?
Electricity is the flow of electric charges.
What is fuel formed from decay and decomposition of dead plants and animals?
Fossil fuels are formed from decay and decomposition dead plants and animals.
What time of day would have the smallest shadow?

What is a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit is a path through which electricity can flow, if part of the path is broken it flows through the remaining path.
What is the causes day and night?
Day and night occur because the Earth is rotates on its axis once every 24 hours.
What is an effect of the rotation of the Earth besides day and night?
