The graph above shows the consumption of fossil fuels around the world and in the US since 1960. US consumption decreased from 1970 to 2009, while the world average consumption remained approximately even from 1970 to 2009.

Why did US consumption decrease?

A)

The US population dropped between 1970 and 2009.

B)

The US population became aware of the fossil-fuel dependency and have reduced their consumption.

C)

The US is running out of fossil fuels, and fossil fuels are too expensive to purchase from foreign sources.

D)

none of the above

It probably C because the us have many cars have to use penny of light water and gas

If you are talking about typical sand you would find at the beach or in a river bed here on earth, there are some differences. i would say the first biggest difference is in composition and mineral make up. although the moon is largely made of the same materials as earth’s mantle and surface, the moon experiences very little weathering (no liquid water and virtually no atmosphere). “earth” sand is typically composed mostly of quartz grains. this is because quartz is highly resistant to both physical and chemical weathering. most of the other minerals originally with the quartz are broken down into fine clay and carried away, chemically eroded/ dissolved, or some combination of the two. this usually leaves only the quartz behind, and so most of the time when you see/think of sand, you are talking about quartz. without these weathering mechanisms on the moon, the “sand” (which is likely more silt or clay sized grains anyways) would consist of mostly other minerals like anorthosite, olivine, and proxene.
