Which of the following statements about minerals is most accurate? A. Minerals are easy to get and do not cost a lot to obtain. B. Mineral resources have existed for millions of years and will continue to exist for millions of years. C. Minerals are renewable resources and exist in an unlimited supply. D. Minerals exist in limited supplies and can sometimes be hard to access.

coal oil natural gas

ANSWERS WILL VARY. Sample: Yes, we should curb our fossil fuel use because they are always being formed but at a VERY slow rate. If we lessen our use, we could save some for future generations.

INSTRUCTIONS Each player starts with a token on the starting square (usually the "1" grid square in the bottom left corner, or simply, off the board next to the "1" grid square). Players take turns rolling a single die to move their token by the number of squares indicated by the die roll. Tokens follow a fixed route marked on the gameboard which usually follows a boustrophedon (ox-plow) track from the bottom to the top of the playing area, passing once through every square. If, on completion of a move, a player's token lands on the lower-numbered end of a "ladder", the player moves the token up to the ladder's higher-numbered square. If the player lands on the higher-numbered square of a "snake" (or chute), the token must be moved down to the snake's lower-numbered square. If a 6 is rolled the player, after moving, immediately rolls again for another turn; otherwise play passes to the next player in turn. The player who is first to bring their token to the last square of the track is the winner.

• nonrenewable
• cause pollution when burned
• being used faster than they can be replaced

• food, energy, to make or build things

Biomass is energy from recently living organisms such as leaves or plants. These materials can be burned to release energy.

• Turn up the A/C a few degrees in warm months
• turn off the lights or fan when you're not in the room
• change light bulbs to more energy efficient bulbs

depletion

____________ is a reduction in the amount of something

____________ is a reduction in the amount of something

nonrenewable resource

renewable resources can be regenerated while nonrenewable resources are used up and cannot be regenerated in our lifetime
