What is it called when water gets into cracks in a rock and repeatedly freezes and unfreezes breaking the rock over time?
Frost Wedging or Ice Wedging
What causes the movement of Earth's tectonic plates?
Convection Currents
Which resource produces zero pollution but creates other safety risks?

What are the three greenhouse gases
Water vapor Carbon dioxide Methane
what is the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources?!
Renewable= can be replaced quickly Nonrenewable= cannot be replaced quickly. We use them faster than they are replaced
