- 6. the form of oil pulled directly from the oil fields
- 10. are produced from oil and used in plastics, paint, fabrics, make-up and cologne
- 11. is used to separate metal in the ore from other materials
- 15. a way of conserving resources that focuses on remaking the resource into another product
- 16. is a natural resource that America is blessed with that provides crops and timber, etc
- 18. uses heat from the earth(magma) to produce steam
- 21. was quickly buried and fossilized under great pressure and provides 25% of our energy needs
- 23. forms when ocean water freezes
- 25. is a factory that separates crude oil into different products
- 26. refers to water vapor in the air
- 28. are layers of sand, gravel or bedrock that hold and move groundwater
- 29. is water that is stored beneath the surface of the earth
- 31. is a metal that is shapeable

- 9. the path that water takes as it travesl from land to sky back to the land
- 12. a way of conserving resources that focuses on not using so many
- 13. a way of conserving resources that focuses on finding multiple ways to use your resources

- 19. contains all of Earth's water found in lakes, oceans, streams, rivers, soil, underground and in the air
- 20. are pieces of glaciers, ice sheets or shelves that break off into the ocean and float independently
- 22. is a solid substance found naturally in the earth's surface
- 24. can be replaced by natural means in a relatively short amount of time
- 27. windmills generate electrical energy from this force of nature
- 30. materials with useable amounts of metal in them
- 33. liquid rock
- 34. is a low-growing crop that helps maintain the nutrients in the soil
