What are the three major types of fossil fuels?

whats a volcano that has not eruped in 200 years?
it is a dormant volcano
what is a sediment rock?
a rock that has compaction, cementation, and stratification
what is cleavage?
it is the tendency of minerals to split along crystallographic
the more significant the earthquake is...
the more energy it needs to shake the earth
How are fossil fuels formed?
Fossil fuels are formed over millions of years from the remains of dead plants and animals. These remains are buried under sediment and subjected to heat and pressure, which causes them to transform into fossil fuels.
how hot is lava?
it is over 1000c
what is a metamorphic rock?
a parent rock
what is the mineral's color?
it is because certain wavelengths of incident light are absorbed, and the color we perceive is produced by the remaining wavelengths that were not absorbed
how many earthquaks are there in the world?
There are thousands of earthquakes all around the world.
what is the cleanest fossil fuel?
natural gases
what are the 3 types of volcanos?
they are the shield, cinder, and cone
what is an igneous rock?
it is a magma or lava rock
what is the mineral's streak?
The streak of a mineral that is the color of the powder produced when it is dragged across an un-weathered surface
How are earthquakes measured?
Earthquakes are measured using a tool called a seismometer, which records the vibrations caused by the earthquake. The magnitude of the earthquake is determined by measuring the amplitude of these vibrations on a seismogram.
What are some of the environmental impacts of using fossil fuels?
Using fossil fuels can have a number of environmental impacts, including air pollution, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. These impacts contribute to climate change and can harm human health and the environment.
what temperature does a volcano erupt
it is 1,170c
what is the rock cycle?
it is the cycle of rocks that makes the rocks turn into lava, have weathering, a parent rock, or that has stratification
what is moth's hardness scale?
The Mohs scale of mineral hardness is a qualitative ordinal scale, from 1 to 10, characterizing the scratch resistance of minerals through the ability of harder material to scratch softer material

What are some alternatives to fossil fuels?
There are many alternatives to fossil fuels, including renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydropower, as well as energy efficiency measures like building retrofits and transportation improvements.
what are underground lava tubes?
they drain inhy6jm7uto the sea or ocean and when lava moves it creates hard ash
