    What are the natural resources?

    • Useful materials that come from the earth.

    • Melted rock that comes from inside the earth.

    • What happens when soil or rock is carried away by water, wind, or other rocks.

    Correct Answer
    A. Useful materials that come from the earth.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "useful materials that come from the earth." This answer accurately defines natural resources as materials that are derived from the earth and have economic value. These resources can include minerals, water, air, soil, forests, and various energy sources such as oil, gas, and renewable energy.

    What does recycle mean?

    • To change something so that is can be used again.

    • What happens when soil or rock is carried away by water, wind, or other rocks.

    • Useful materials that come from the earth.

    • Melted rock that comes from inside the earth.

    Correct Answer
    A. To change something so that is can be used again.
    Explanation
    Recycling means the process of transforming waste materials into reusable materials. It involves changing something that has already been used into a new product or material that can be used again. This helps to conserve resources, reduce waste, and minimize the impact on the environment.

    What is lava?

    • What happens when soil or rock is carried away by water, wind, or other rocks.

    • Useful materials that come from the earth.

    • Melted rock that comes from inside the earth.

    Correct Answer
    A. Melted rock that comes from inside the earth.
    Explanation
    Lava is the correct answer because it refers to melted rock that originates from the interior of the Earth. When volcanic activity occurs, the intense heat causes rocks to melt and transform into a liquid state, resulting in lava. This molten rock then flows or erupts onto the Earth's surface, often causing volcanic eruptions and forming new land formations.

    We can use what natural resources to build a home with and burn for fuel?

    • Wood from forests

    • Shells from the beach

    • Melted lava

    Correct Answer
    A. Wood from forests
    Explanation
    Wood from forests can be used to build a home and can also be burned for fuel. Wood is a renewable resource that can be sustainably harvested from forests. It is commonly used in construction due to its strength and durability. Additionally, wood can be burned as a source of heat and energy, making it a versatile and accessible fuel option.

    • Useful materials that come from the earth.

    • What happens when soil or rock is carried away by water, wind, or other rocks.

    Correct Answer
    A. What happens when soil or rock is carried away by water, wind, or other rocks.
    Explanation
    Erosion refers to the process of soil or rock being carried away by water, wind, or other rocks. This explanation accurately describes erosion as the movement and displacement of soil or rock due to natural forces. It highlights the key elements of erosion, which include the action of water, wind, or other rocks causing the soil or rock to be carried away.

    What is melted rock in the inside of the earth called?

    • Soil

    • Magma

    • Lava

    • Water

    Correct Answer
    A. Magma
    Explanation
    Melted rock inside the Earth is called magma. Magma forms beneath the Earth's surface and can rise to the surface through volcanic activity. When magma reaches the surface and erupts from a volcano, it is then called lava. Basalt and granite are types of igneous rocks that form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

    • Water and sunlight

    • Wind and erosion

    • Oil, coal, and gas

    Correct Answer
    A. Oil, coal, and gas
    Explanation
    Oil, coal, and gas are natural resources that can be used for fuel. These resources are known as fossil fuels and are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that have been subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years. They are non-renewable resources and are commonly used for generating electricity, powering vehicles, and heating homes. Despite their effectiveness as fuel sources, the extraction and burning of fossil fuels also have significant environmental impacts, such as air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

    • Reduction

    • Lava

    • Recycle

    • Erosion

    Correct Answer
    A. Erosion
    Explanation
    Erosion is the process in which wind or water carries away soil or rocks. It occurs when the force of wind or water is strong enough to dislodge and transport particles of soil or rocks from one place to another. This natural process can be caused by factors such as wind, rain, waves, or glaciers, and it can result in the formation of landforms such as valleys, canyons, or deltas. Erosion plays a crucial role in shaping the Earth's surface over time.
