MS.ESS3.1 Uneven Distribution of Resources

Natural Resources are anything humans use that are obtained from the Earth

True

False

Match the following "Spheres on Earth"

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Biosphere		Contains soil, minerals, and metals
Geospheres		Gases that plants and animals need for survival
Hydrosphere		All living things on Earth
Atmosphere		Makes up all water found on Earth

Sunlight, Air, and Water are considered Non-renewable resources.

True

False

These resources can be used continuously and have the potential to last millions or even billions of years

Nonrenewable resources

Renewable resources

Which of the following are considered fossil fuels (select all that apply)

Fossil Fuels emit carbons when they are burned and produce what we call ___________________

Natural gas

Carbon emissions

Metal ores

Petroleum Resources

Match the following non-renewable resources.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Oil		A solid material formed from swamp plants that died millions of years ago.
Natural gas		A liquid fuel formed from tiny marine animals that died in the ocean millions of years ago
Coal		Forms the same way as oil. Over millions of years, tiny dead animals are pressed down by rocks and mud. The pressure forms tiny bubbles of gas

Resources are distributed unevenly around the Earth

True

False

Match the following:

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Petroleum Resources		are found in locations of past volcanic and hydrothermal activity associated with subduction zones.
Soil		are found in locations of buried organic marine sediments and subsequent geologic traps
Metal Ores		is a natural resource found in locations of active weathering and or deposition of rock
