1The three main categories of fossil fuels are petroleum, natural gas, and coal. 2Each type of fossil fuel has benefits and drawbacks. 3Natural gas and liquid petroleum, also called oil or crude oil, are pumped up from deep underground using wells. 4Wells could be on land or on the ocean floor. 5A special process called fracking is sometimes used. 6This involves pumping a solution into cracks in rocks deep underground to make it easier to retrieve the oil and natural gas trapped there. 7Solid coal is mined from strip mines, pit mines, or underground mines. 8At least in the short term, natural gas, liquid petroleum, and coal are relatively abundant in the US. 9Many electricity generation plants in the US use natural gas or coal, so the infrastructure for harnessing the energy from these fossil fuels is already well developed. 10Indeed, much of the US infrastructure, especially regarding transportation needs, is designed to use products made from oil. 11Products made from oil can be burned and used to provide energy to turn engines, such as in most cars. 12In addition, many plastic products are made from oil and natural gas. 13However, coal, natural gas, and oil are all nonrenewable, non-sustainable resources. 14Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases. 15Oil rigs are very dangerous places to work. 16Oil spills on land can contaminate soil and groundwater. 17Oil spills in the ocean can contaminate water and living things for thousands of miles. 18Explosions can happen at the facilities where oil and natural gas are pumped from wells. 19Strip mining, pit mining, and mountaintop removal all remove large amounts of vegetation and soil, and they damage the ecosystem. 20 Runoff from mining locations can pollute waterways.
You and your classmate were curious about the information to soil, and how it relates to the formation of other resources, you found the following short article on a website, geological processes, impact resource formation, geological processes, such as the moving of tectonic plates in the eruption of volcanoes can impact where resources such as minerals and fossil fuels, are formed some resources, such as fossil fuels and minerals mineral or deposits, are formed along plate boundary but later moved to new locations as a plate continued to move. Likewise, different types of soil are formed by the geological Processing of weathering, erosion and disposition weathering of different types of rocks occur when those rocks are broken in the small pieces, and then the erosion and deposits of small pieces are weathered of weathered rock result in their placement in new areas. The different types of weathered rock mix with different types of organic matter to formula with different positions after in the short article above the analysis, comparing and contrasting the information of minerals and fossil field with the formation of soil , the formation minerals, the formation of fossil fuels and formation of soil have an important blank, distributed by blank process, however, different processes, without an uneven distribution of the resources plate, blank, can move fossil fuels deposits, and mineral or deposits, for far from previous boundaries to blank result in the infer formation of different solar type in different locations

The formation of minerals, fossil fuels, and soil is impacted by geological processes such as weathering, erosion, and deposition. Weathering breaks rocks into small pieces, which are then eroded and deposited in new areas. Tectonic plate movement can also distribute resources unevenly, moving fossil fuel and mineral deposits far from their original boundaries. This results in the formation of different types of soil in different locations. Climate can also play a role in the formation of soil and resources. The similarity between the formation of minerals, fossil fuels, and soil lies in the fact that they are all influenced by geological processes, but the differences in these processes result in the varied distribution of resources.

After reading the website, article above, your classmate is allowed about the iron or deposit found along the upper mountains in the eastern United States. There’s no active plate boundary along the upper Kalian mountain. Yeah, iron or is known to form along pleat boundaries. Why are there deposits of iron, or in a place where there isn’t a current plate boundary explain to your classmate, how they can be mineral deposits, located from current plate boundaries
The mineral deposits have no geological explanation.
These minerals deposits were formed by weathering erosion and deposition
The mineral deposits were moved away from plate boundaries as the plates moved and collided over many years
The mineral deposits were moved to new underground locations by early miners
