Which best explains how coal deposits formed

Coal is a fossil fuel that formed through the transformation of organic plant matter. It is primarily used as a heat source to generate electricity.

Which is the best description of a strike-slip fault

A fault that forms at a transform boundary

How is the strength of a volcanic eruption related to the magma in the volcano

If the magma is more viscous, the eruption is stronger.

Why do Earth's magnetic pole reversals provide evidence for plate tectonics

Rocks lock in their magnetism when they cool.

How is deposition a part of the erosion process

The part of the erosion process in which sediment is placed in a new location, or deposited.
