Front 1

the use of this resource results in generating waste products that may remain dangerous for thousands of years

Back 1

nuclear

Front 2

A disadvantage of harnassing this resource is that large fields have to be taken up with resource collecting equipment

Back 2

wind

Front 3

When decaying material is changed by pressure and bacteria to contain mostly hydrogen and carbon, this process is called

Back 3

carbonization

Front 4

the resource that can be conserved by recycling and reusing is

Back 4

water

Front 5

this resource can be classified as metallic and nonmetallic

Back 5

minerals

Front 6

nuclear fission is considered to be
