| show | graphite
🗑
|
||||
| Petroleum, natural gas and propane are all considered _____ because they formed from the buried remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. | show 🗑
|
||||
| Most geologic resources are ____, they form very slowly and are extracted much faster than nature replaces them. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | focus
🗑
|

|
||||
| How do glaciers flow? | show 🗑

🗑
|
||||
| show | metamorphic rock
🗑
|

| show | Molten rock material below the surface
🗑
|
||||
| show | The phenomenon involving the origin of new oceanic crust at spreading ridges that then moves away from ridges and is eventually consumed at subduction zones
🗑
|
||||
| show | Magma that reaches the surface.
🗑
|
||||
| Asthenosphere | show 🗑
|

🗑
|
||||
| show | An unstable element that changes by radioactive decay into a stable daughter element
🗑
|
||||
| show | An element formed by radioactive decay of another element, for example, argon 40 is the daughter element of potassium 40
