Question

Metals and minerals accumulate in specific regions on Earth due to _______ activity and as part of the rock cycle. When sustainable yield is achieved, the rate of replenishment is equal to the rate at which the resource is harvested. This means that the resource can be harvested _______. Plate motion can create the proper temperature and _______ underground for hydrocarbons to release from kerogen.

Answer 1

1. Non-renewable

2. Volcanic

3. Indefinitely

4. Pressure

5. Metals are found in rocks and can be moved by erosion and rainfall. these processes carry metal away from weathered rock, causing metals to accumulate in sediments, rivers, and streams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: volcanic

indefinitely

pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

It should be noted that metals and minerals are regarded as non renewable resources which implies that they cannot be replenished.

They accumulate as a result of volcanic activities which takes place in the Earth. The resources can be harvested indefinitely when there is achievement of the sustainable yield. Plate motion can then create the proper temperature and pressure underground that is required for the hydrocarbons to release from kerogen.
