Choose the best word from the box below that will complete the sentences.

A. Mining process starts with the discovery of the mineral . It then proceeds with either mining,
where the soil or rocks that cover the ores are removed through blasting, or in mining, where miners
create a tunnel to reach the mineral ore.

B. are remains of plants and animals that died millions of years ago. They are the world’s primary
energy source for transportation, electricity and different industries. There are 3 types: is the primary type and
is commonly use due to its availability and because it is inexpensive. It comes in four ranks where is at
the highest rank and at the lowest rank based on their carbon concentration. is the second type which
is derived from organic material, buried under the sea or lakes. It undergoes refining process and mostly used for
transportation fuels and petroleum - based products is the last type, known as the cleanest fossil fuels.
It is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas with a mixture of methane. It is produced from rock for-
mation by forcing chemicals, water, and sand down a well under extreme pressure.

Cross out which does not belong to the group.

1. DO YOU AGREE TO THE STATEMENT: ONE ROCK IS THE RAW MATERIAL FOR ANOTHER? JUSTIFY YOUR ANSWER.

Magma out of which igneous rocks form can emerge when any rock is melted. Weathered compo-
nents of pre-existing rocks, whether igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary, constitute sedimentary
rocks. Lastly, when any rock type undertakes metamorphism, metamorphic rocks are formed.

2. YOUR PLACE HAS BEEN FOUND TO HAVE LARGE DEPOSITS OF GOLD, ARE YOU IN FAVOR OF MAKING YOUR PLACE
A MINING SITE? JUSTIFY YOUR ANSWERS.

Yes, through legal arrangements, whereas the mining firm or companies must spend the expenses of
excavation, exploitation, and collection of the gold ore through the use of their apparatus, man-
power, and operations. However, before any mineral is impacted, consent must be provided and ac-
quired from the legislation, as well as the DENR, as there may be ongoing soil and groundwater
surveillance.

3. AMONG THE THREE TYPES OF FOSSIL FUELS, WHICH DO YOU THINK IS MORE EFFICIENT TO USE? EXPLAIN WHY.

Oil or petroleum, in my opinion, is the most efficient of the three fossil fuels. The most extensively
used fossil fuel is oil. Crude oil is made up of a variety of organic substances that are converted
into products during refining. Oil is used to power automobiles, heat structures, and create power.
Oil is found in common things like cosmetics, as well as life-saving medical technologies such as MRI
machines. Oil refinery byproducts are used to make plastics, lubricants, wax, or even asphalt for
our highways. To top it all off, it is widely available. It is basically utilized in a wide variety of
applications.
