provide homes for wildlife, remove carbon dioxide from atmosphere, provide food and medicine, create oxygen
renewable: can be replaced as fast as used, air and water. nonrenewable: can't be replaced as fast as used, coal and petroleum
burn fossil fuels which release gasses that trap heat, cut down forests which provide oxygen and homes for wildlife, use up most of available farm land
volcano erupts, cools and forms an igneous rock, weathering breaks down rock into sediments, sediments pile on top of each other and form a sedimentary rock, over time heat, pressure or chemical weathering changes the rock into a metamorphic rock
