During this phase of the Moon, the Moon resembles a circle.
What is a Full Moon?
This is also called petroleum, and is a liquid that is found beneath Earth's surface.
What is oil?
These are plants or animals that are not native to their location.

This is the high or low quality of a sound.
What is pitch?
The child or young of a human, animal, or plant is called this.
What is offspring?
This takes the shape of the container it is in.
What is a liquid?
This type of rock is formed deep below the Earth's surface when hot magma pushes up toward the surface, and cools and hardens.
What is igneous rock?
The entire state of Florida is a plateau of this type of rock.
