SOE 101 EXAM 3 VERIFIED STUDY GUIDE
igneous rocks - Answers - melts from high temp and cools down
sedimentary rock - Answers - sediments get piled up into forming a rock, lots of pieces
of rock or tree/organism that gets put into rock
metamorphic rock - Answers - has parallel layers/lines, formed by minerals under temp
and pressure they're subjected to
earth's heat sources - Answers - external and internal
external heat source - Answers - solar energy, affects
weather/climate/atmosphere/hydrosphere/biosphere
internal heat source - Answers - (core) heat trapped inside earth during formation, heat
produced by radioactive elements in the core, affects inner and outer
core/mantle/athenosphere/lithosphere/climate (convection and tectonics releasing
gasses)
types of energy resources - Answers - nonrenewable and renewable
energy resource - Answers - "a material (such as oil, coal, wind, flowing water) that can
be used to produce energy"
nonrenewable resource - Answers - "a resource that nature will take a long time
(hundreds to millions of years) to replenish or may never replenish"
renewable resource - Answers - "a resource that can be replaced by nature within a
short time span relative to a human life"
BTU - Answers - british thermal unit, way to compare all the resources w how much
energy we can get out of them
making non renewable resources - Answers - takes millions of years, formation of
sedimentary rocks, traps formed by tectonics (coal, gas, oil, radioactive material)
reservoir rock - Answers - "rock w high porosity and permeability, so it can contain an
abundant amount of easily accessible oil"
formation of oil and gas - Answers - organism falls through surface, gets buried,
increasing temp and pressure, forms non-renewable source
advantages of nonrenewable resources - Answers - "easy" to find
systems are in place
