1 answer

Here’s the matching of the terms from Column A with their descriptions in Column B:

  1. Why are fossil fuels nonrenewable?
    g. It takes millions of years for Earth to make fossil fuels

  2. Carbon dioxide:
    s. A greenhouse gas produced by burning fossil fuels.

  3. Particulate Matter:
    q. Solid or liquid pollution released by burning fossil fuels

  4. Greenhouse gas:
    d. Envelope of different gases that traps heat in the Earth.

  5. Smog:
    t. A mixture of smoke and fog

  6. Biosphere:
    r. The sphere affected when animals' habitats are destroyed through mining.

  7. Hydrosphere:
    l. The sphere affected when too much carbon dioxide increases the pH of the Ocean.

  8. Cryosphere:
    o. Areas of ice or snow, like at the poles. This "sphere" is at risk for melting with Global Warming.

  9. Atmosphere:
    d. Envelope of different gases that traps heat in the Earth. (Note: This has been used for two; here, it could alternatively refer to the environment around Earth.)

  10. Albedo effect:
    m. White snow/ice has a high _____ which means it reflects light/heat instead of absorbing it and melting.

  11. Before they were Fossil Fuels, they were _____?
    p. Dead Plants and Animals (carbon containing organisms)

  12. What underground process forms Fossil Fuels?
    j. Heat and Pressure

  13. Coal:
    i. Solid Fossil fuel

  14. Natural Gas:
    k. Vapor form of fossil fuel

  15. Crude oil/ Petroleum:
    c. Liquid form of Fossil Fuel

  16. What does Fracking stand for?
    n. Hydraulic Fracturing

  17. What is the purpose of Fracking?
    f. To extract oil and gas from rock by cracking it and piping out the gas/oil.

  18. Solar energy:
    b. Panels transfer the Sun's energy into electricity

  19. Wind Energy:
    e. Currents of AIR turn turbines which operate a generator and produces electricity.

  20. Hydroelectric Energy:
    a. Moving water turns turbines which operate a generator and produces electricity.

(Note: Descriptions may have some overlap, particularly for "atmosphere", so there may be more than one plausible answer depending on the context. Adjust as necessary based on what was emphasized in your lessons.)
