So that a hypothesis from scientists aren't misunderstood as a fact/truth/proven point by non scientists.
D) The Earth was hit by a one or more objects from space 65 million years ago. The iridium layer shows an extraterrestrial cause for the extinction at the Cretaceous Tertiary boundary, discovered by the Alvarez family. The first discovery of this layer was in the Bavarian alps, in Lattengebirge. The Alverez family proposed that the extinction of the dinosaurs was due to a large meteor hitting the Earth at the end of the Cretaceous period, marking the KT boundary with this clay layer which has a high content of iridium. Iridium is not common on Earth, but is common in meteors.

Explanation:
1. Nonrenewable resources include oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy.
2. Nonrenewable resources cannot be readily replaced at the speed with which they are being consumed.
3. Renewable sources include biomass energy (such as ethanol), hydropower, geothermal power, wind energy, and solar energy. Biomass refers to organic material from plants or animals, etc.
4. Because they take a very long time to form. They are not replaceable.
5. Corn can be used for ethanol fuel, and a new crop of corn can be grown and harvested each year. Corn is a renewable resource. Also, renewable resources <u>cannot</u> be replaced in our lifetime.
Answer:
Humans have breached this cycle by digging up fossil fuels and burning them, leading to carbon dioxide building up in the atmosphere faster than natural systems can soak it up. This has led to a net increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing the planet to heat up.
