Reading Skills
Read the passage below. Then, answer questions 9/11.
Fossil Fuels
All fossil fuels form from the buried remains of ancient organisms. But
different types of fossil fuels form in different ways and from different types of
organisms. Petroleum and natural gas form mainly from the remains of
microscopic sea life. When these organisms die, their remains collect on the
ocean floor, where they are buried by sediment. Over time, the sediment
slowly becomes rock and traps the organic remains. Through physical and
chemical changes over millions of years, the remains became petroleum and
natural gas. Gradually, more rocks form above the rocks that contain the
fossil fuels. Under the pressure of overlying rocks and sediments, the fossil
fuels are able to move through permeable rocks. Permeable rocks are rocks
that allow fluids, such as petroleum and permeable rocks become reservoirs
that hold petroleum and natural gas.

10. Which of the following statements can be inferred from
the information in the passage?
F. Fossil fuel formation is ongoing, and current
remains may become petroleum in the future.
G. Fossil fuel formation happened millions of years ago
and no longer takes place today.
H. Current petroleum and natural gas reservoirs are
found only beneath the ocean floor.
I. Permeable rocks are also a good place to find other
fossil fuels, such as coal.

11. Why do we consider petroleum and natural gas to be
nonrenewable resources?
Because the process to replenish petroleum and natural
gas takes millions of years, these resources are
considered nonrenewable. Nonrenewable resources
are resources that form at a much slower rate than the
rate at which they are consumed.

13. Evaluate reasons why nuclear power is predicted to peak
in usage around the year 2025, and then steadily decline
in usage?
Answers should include: understanding that technology carries both
benefits and risks; nuclear power is powerful, but controversial,
energy source; nuclear power has dangerous, long-lasting
byproducts and the potential for serious accidents; nuclear power
produces radioactive waste, which remains hazardous for thousands
of years; nuclear power also creates the potential for a nuclear
meltdown, which could release radioactivity into the atmosphere,
having a direct and detrimental affect on the health of local
populations and globally with movement of global weather patterns;
safer, cleaner, renewable resources are currently not as effective as
nuclear power; renewable resources are predicted to replace nuclear
power as they become more efficient.

14. Use your everyday knowledge of automobiles to
describe the part of an automobile for which each
mineral listed in the table may be used.
All the minerals listed above might be used in the car
manufacturing as follows: gold for computers and
electronics, galena for car batteries, quartz for windows
or light coverings, sulfur for tires, graphite for paint,
hematite for the body and framework, and chalcopyrite
for wiring.
