About the Natural Resources word search

Others are FINITE, or nonrenewable: once used, they are gone for millions of years. These include the FOSSIL FUELS, COAL, PETROLEUM and NATURAL GAS, along with MINERALS dug from the ground. Even SOIL takes centuries to form, which is why CONSERVATION matters. The word list runs medium and suits students from about 9 up. The answer key is on page two.
