What is the difference between a renewable and nonrenewable resource?

• Renewable can be easily replaced - Non renewable can not easily be replaced

• They are the same

• Non renewable means they do not need to be renewed and renewable means they need to be renewed

• Some are from internal and external areas of the earth -- while some only from external areas of the earth

What are tar sands and oil shale?

• Minerals that are derived from sand and shells.

• Geologic structures that contain low grade hydrocarbons mixed with clay, sand, or shale

• Minerals that are carried by water from a source upstream

• Hydrothermal solutions that provide renewable resources to local communities

How do hydrothermal deposits form?

• Hydrothermal deposits form when warm fluids cause sediment to dissolve in a pool above earths surface.

• Formed from plant material that deteriorated and left mineral residue

• In areas where the sun causes large bodies of water to heat up and create water to boil over and leave sediment

• Hydrothermal deposits form from hot metal rich fluid left behind from cooling magma

Compare and contrast the formation of coal with that of petroleum and natural gas.

• Coal was formed from plant material that collected in swamps, Petroleum and natural gas were formed from plant and animal material collected and buried in ancient seas

• All three fossil fuels - coal, petroleum, and natural gas - are formed through the decomposition of organic matter under heat and pressure

• Coal was formed from plant and animal material collected and buried in ancient seas, Petroleum and natural gas were formed from plant material collected in swamps

• All three coal, petroleum and natural gas are renewable resources but coal comes from animal decay and petroleum or natural gas are made from plants

Why isn't the use of tar sands more widespread in the United States?

• The use of tar sands is widespread in the United States

• Mining tar sands is too expensive and there are too many regulations in the United States

• The world's tar sand deposits are mainly in Canada, there are environmental drawbacks and it is expensive

• The amount of resources found in tar sands does not provide enough deposits to create enough energy

Explain how following placer deposits upstream would help prospectors find the original deposit?

• It is not possible to find the original deposit using placer deposits because the deposits are only trace elements and not enough to find the original source

• Placer deposits are left behind after mining projects the source is located where they are found.

• Placer deposits are abundant and located in many places it is hard to distinguish an individual source

• Placer deposits are minerals that are carried by moving water from a source upstream. By following the deposits upstream, it is possible to find the original deposit
