24. Mars\' thick atmosphere creates a surface pressure of 90 atmospheres (90 tim

Question

24. Mars' thick atmosphere creates a surface pressure of 90 atmospheres (90 times the weight of the atmosphere on Earth at sea level).

22. We can see the rocky surface of Venus with regular (optical) telescopes (including the Hubble).

21. The light colored areas on the Moon are made of limestone.

20. Placers are sedimentary deposits with a concentrate of heavy minerals such as gold and or platinum

19. Coal is made from dead sea plants such as kelp.

18.Burning coal can ultimately create acid rain.

17. Today, we are currently mining (pumping) oil from the sediments on the continental shelves because we do not want to wait for the millions of years it would take for plate tectonics to lift the rocks above sea level.

15. Most of the oil deposits on land today are actually ocean floor sediments that have been uplifted above sea level by plate tectonics.

14. Non-renewable resources form over millions of years and can not be replenished in just a few months, years or decades.

13. Renewable resources generally include trees, animals, and plants

12.Renewable resources include coal and oil because more is created naturally in a few hundred years

11. Placers are commonly found in streambeds.

10. Non-renewable resources can be replenished over a relatively short time such as months, years or decades.

9. An oil 'gusher' is basically an artesian oil well.

8.Hydroelectric power is the energy from moving (falling) water.

7.Coal is made from dead plant material that was buried quickly - before it was decomposed and recycled into the ecosystem.

6. Oil is usually formed in layers of mud on the ocean floor, and near the edges of the continents.

5. Geothermal energy is an alternate energy source.

4. Solar energy is an alternate energy source.

3. Sometimes, oil will naturally migrate upwards through the rock layers until it reaches the surface and leaks out. The exposed oil will then evaporate and decompose into the ecosystem.

2. Because oil is a liquid, it often moves from the mud-rich rock (shale) where it was formed, into adjacent rocks with sufficient porosity and permeability to allow the movement of fluids such as oil and water.

Explanation / Answer

24) False

The atmosphere of Mars is the layer of gases surrounding Mars. It is composed mostly of carbon dioxide. The atmospheric pressure on the Martian surface averages 600 pascals (0.087 psi; 6.0 mbar), about 0.6% of Earth's mean sea level pressure of 101.3 kilopascals (14.69 psi; 1.013 bar). so it is not 90 times then earth's pressure

23) False

the image is of olympus mons on mars.

Olympus Mons is a very large shield volcano on the planet Mars. By one measure, it has a height of nearly 22 km (13.6 mi or 72,000 ft). Olympus Mons stands about two and a half times as tall as Mount Everest's height above sea level. It is the tallest mountain in the Solar System.

22)

False

Venus is wrapped in thick clouds of carbon dioxide that make it impossible to see down to its rocky surface. Even spacecraft in orbit around Venus have to resort to radar to penetrate the clouds and detect the surface terrain,It is also possible to follow all the phases of Venus, just like you can with the Moon.

21) False

the lighter areas of moons are called highlands .The highlands are anorthositic in composition

infect the darker areas are also made up of volcaic composition there are no sedimentary structure on moon,
