Energy sources that will run out or are replenished very slowly.

Energy sources formed from ancient plants and animals.

A fossil fuel that is a mixture of hydrocarbons.

A process to separate crude oil into different fuels.

A solid fossil fuel formed from ancient plant matter.

A fossil fuel, primarily methane, used as a fuel.

The primary component of natural gas.

Energy produced by splitting atoms.

Energy from sources that are constantly replenished.

Energy from the sun.

Fuel made from recently dead organisms.

Energy produced by water flow.

Energy from the Earth's internal heat.

Energy from wind.

The ability to do work.

A molten or semi-molten rock mixture found beneath Earth's surface.

Magma formation due to reduced pressure as hot mantle rock rises.

Places where tectonic plates move apart.

The upward movement of hot material.

Columns of hot rock rising from Earth's core.

The process of creating magma through decompression melting or transfer of heat

Rocks formed from cooling magma or lava.

Igneous intrusions (cooled parts of magma)

A type of metamorphism that occurs when rocks are heated by nearby magma or lava.

Metamorphism caused by the grinding and crushing of rocks along fault lines.

Metamorphism driven by hot, chemically active fluids circulating through rocks.

Widespread metamorphism affecting vast areas, often associated with mountain building.

Metamorphism caused by the increasing temperature and pressure as rocks are buried deeper.

Metamorphism caused by the extreme shockwaves of impacts like meteorites or volcanic eruptions.

Water falling from the atmosphere as rain or snow.

Water soaking into the ground.

Soil is a mixture of solid, liquid, and gas components. It's formed from weathered rocks, organic matter, and supports plant growth.

The solid part of soil is a mixture of mineral grains (from rocks) and organic matter (from decayed plants and animals).

Water in the soil that wets mineral grains and contains dissolved substances, like nutrients.

Soil contains gasses like carbon dioxide, methane, and oxygen, filling the spaces between solid particles.

Soil is a semi-renewable resource, which means it takes a long time to form and replenish naturally.

The relative proportions of sand, silt, and clay particles in the soil, affecting its properties.

Partially decayed organic matter in soil, essential for soil fertility and plant growth.

A diagram used to determine soil type based on the percentage of sand, silt, and clay.

Harmful substances enter the soil, damaging its health and ability to support life.

The wearing away of topsoil by wind or water, leaving behind less fertile soil.

The process of turning fertile land into desert-like conditions, often due to human activities.

The increase of acidity in the soil, making it harder for plants to grow.

The buildup of salts on the soil surface, making it difficult for plants to absorb water.

Toxic metals like lead and mercury accumulate in the soil, harming plants and animals.

Excess nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus enter the soil and water, leading to harmful algal blooms.

Deforestation can lead to soil erosion, decreased water retention, and loss of biodiversity.

The process where new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges as tectonic plates move apart.

An underwater mountain range where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity.

A plate boundary where two tectonic plates collide.

A plate boundary where two plates slide past each other horizontally.

Another name for a lateral plate boundary.

The speed at which tectonic plates move, typically measured in centimeters per year.

Large, rigid sections of Earth's outermost layer that move and interact with each other.
