Across
- 4. / Comes from sources that will run out or will not be replenished for thousands or even millions of years.
- 6. / Sources formed from the remains of living organisms that were buried millions of years ago.
- 7. / The measured amount of heat in a place or in the body.
- 8. / A dark-colored rock like a fossil fuel that can be burned to create energy.
- 10. / The place in the environment where a plant or animal lives.
