- 2. Natural resources that people use for energy
- 5. Those that have not erupted in the past 10,000 years
- 8. is a geologic hazard in which molten rock—called magma or lava—gases, ash, and other materials are released onto Earth’s surface and into the atmosphere.
- 9. the conditions, requirements, or standards that a solution should meet.
- 11. any natural material or energy source that is used by humans, such as water, petroleum, minerals, forests, and animals
- 12. If geologists agree that a volcano is not likely to erupt ever again
- 16. conditions that limit the design solution or that could prevent the solution from being accomplished
- 19. the ruin or alteration of a place inhabited by an ecological community
- 21. the result of some action or event
- 22. is a place where molten rock and gasses can rise from Earth’s interior to the surface.
- 23. a natural process or phenomenon that may cause widespread injury, death, and property damage
- 25. naturally occurring events that can have a negative effect on humans or the environment and relate to weather conditions, including thunderstorms, tropical storms, lightning, and tornadoes
- 27. pollution that comes from a specific site
- 28. devices that detect vibrations in the ground to monitor earthquake activity
- 29. all the water on Earth
- 30. the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of Earth that occurs when water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other gasses absorb and reradiate energy
- 32. the reduction in the severity or impact of something
Down
- 1. an unwanted change in the environment caused by substances or forms of energy
- 3. pollution that comes from many sources rather than from a single, specific site
- 4. the mixture of gasses that surrounds the planet
- 6. a resource that forms at a rate that is much slower than the rate at which the resource is consumed
- 7. a rotating thunderstorm that can cause a tornado to develop
- 10. solid part of Earth
- 13. result that follows naturally from the actions of a person or group.
- 14. devices that monitor changes in a volcano’s shape that are related to pressure changes inside the volcano
- 15. the way in which something, such as a resource, is spread out in an area
- 17. naturally occurring events that can have a negative effect on humans or the environment and relate to long-term weather changes such as drought
- 18. a natural resource that can be replaced at the same rate at which the resource is consumed
- 20. widespread injury, death, and property damage caused by a natural hazard
- 24. all the living things on Earth
