Water stored below ground

The layer of the Earth containing all the air

all the factors (such as climate, soil, and living things) that act upon an organism or an ecological community.

Rock formed by minerals that were once molten, and now are cooled and crystalized

Rock Form when minerals are heated and deformed, but not molten

Rock formed when other rock is broken into small pieces and then reformed

The building block of all rock. They are formed from the interaction of cooling magma and groundwater. They are typically solid, inorganic, and have a crystalline structure. They may be a single chemical element, or a compound of elements.

Usable substances that come from the earth that can NOT be replaced quickly, if ever.

Usable substances that come from the earth that can be replaced quickly, within a human lifetime.

Per-Capita Consumption

Renewable Energy produced by turn the movement of air (KE) into electricity

Renewable Energy produced by turn the movement of water stored uphill (GPE) into electricity

Liquid water that has seeped into gaps in rock. Can dissolve and move minerals

Light energy from the sun that is captured and use to do work.

Carbon from ancient plants that died, were buried with rotting, compressed for many thousands of years, and now form layers of solid fuel.

Ancient water organisms that were in shallow seas, and died, were buried, pressed for thousands of years, and now for useful liquid fuel and other substances.

Flammable volitiles that are pushed out of coal or oil while they form. These are still useful, if they form underground pockets that we can find.

Minerals that are unstable and generate heat when they fall apart. Tend to be the heaviest atoms.
