Oil <span>must be mined from underground
Oil is NOT a renewable resource
Oil does NOT release more toxins than coal
Oil also is NOT easily replenished

The wise and careful use of energy is called CONSERVATION
Answer:
(D) None
Explanation:
The force of gravity is the force pulling every element of matter together. The more the matter the higher the force of gravity.
Examples of this force at work are;
- The force that causes an apple to fall from the tree
- The force that causes a rock to roll downside a hill
- The force causing people to walk on the earth surface instead of floating
The force that facilitates a pen on your hand to write on a paper is friction force between the pen and the paper. Gravitational force acts downwards thus force applied on an object beside you is not the force of gravity.
<span>Given:
3,500 kilometers
Find:</span>
Years for two continents to collide = ?
<span>Solution:
We know that </span>typical motions of one plate relative to another
are 1 centimeter per year.
So first, we convert 3,500 km to cm.<span>
</span><span>
</span>
The solution would be like this for this specific problem:
1 km = 100,000 cm
3,500 km x 100,000 = 350,000,000 cm
Since we know that 1 cm = 1 year, then that means
350,000,000 cm is equivalent to 350,000,000 years.
Therefore, it would take 350 million years for two continents
that are 3500 kilometers apart to collide.

To add, </span>a phenomenon of the plate tectonics of Earth that occurs at
convergent boundaries is called the continental collision.
