Fossil Fuels (Formation)
This fossil fuel forms mainly from tiny marine organisms buried under ocean sediments.
What is oil?
This process happens when a river slows down and drops sand, silt, and mud at its mouth.
What is deposition?
What process breaks rocks into smaller pieces without moving them?
What is weathering?
This adaptation helps animals stay warm in cold environments.
What is thick fur?
This plant structure helps move water from the roots to the leaves.
What is the stem?
This fossil fuel forms when ancient swamp plants are buried, compressed, and heated over millions of years.
What is coal?
This factor helps shape a delta by pushing sediment back toward the land.
What are ocean waves?
What landform is created when a river slows down and drops sediment at its mouth?
what is a Delta
This animal has hollow fur and black skin to absorb heat in cold climates.
What is a polar bear?
Which structure protects the plant and helps prevent water loss?
What is the bark?
This fossil fuel is often found trapped above oil deposits and is used for cooking and heating homes.
What is natural gas?
What material carried by rivers settles and builds up to form deltas?
What is Sediments?
Which process moves sediment from one place to another by wind, water, or ice?
What is Erosion?
Long legs help this type of animal move easily through deep snow or tall grass.
What is a deer?
A plant with thick, fleshy leaves is MOST likely adapted to survive in —
What is a dry environment? or Dessert
This condition is MOST necessary to turn buried plant and animal remains into fossil fuels.
What is heat and pressure over millions of years?
If a river suddenly slows down before reaching the ocean, this is most likely to increase.
What is sediment deposition?
This landform is formed when a river cuts through rock over a long period of time.
What is a Canyon?
This adaptation helps desert animals stay cool during the day.
What are large ears?
This structure allows gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide to move in and out of the leaf.
What are stomata?
Fossil fuels are considered nonrenewable because they —
What is they take millions of years to form and cannot be replaced quickly?
If a dam is built upstream, the delta will most likely —
What is shrink because less sediment reaches it?
What process causes sediment to settle and build up, helping form landforms like beaches and sandbars?
What is Deposition?
An animal that lives underground is MOST likely to have which structure?
What are strong claws for digging?
Plants in windy environments often have flexible stems so they can —
What is bend without breaking?
