Answer the following question given this paragraph: A lava plateau is made of a large amount of fluid lava. The lava flows over a large area and cools. This creates a large, flat surface of igneous rock. Lava plateaus may be huge. The Columbia Plateau covers over 161,000 square kilometers (63,000 square miles). It makes up parts of the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Q: When lava flows over a large area and cools, it creates a large, flat surface of what type of rock? A:
OPTIONS:
- tidal
- sedimentary
- metamorphic
- igneous
igneous

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Consider petroleum as an example. Oil companies explore for petroleum in areas where they think it might be. When they find it, they must determine how much is there. They must also know how hard it will be to get. If there's enough to make it worthwhile, they will decide to go for it. To extract petroleum, companies they must build huge rigs, like the one in Figure below . An oil rig drills deep into the ground and pumps the oil to the surface. The oil is then transported to a refinery. At the refinery, the oil is heated. It will then separate into different products, such as gasoline and motor oil. Finally, the oil products are transported to gas stations, stores, and industries. At every step, energy is used. For every five barrels of oil we use, it takes at least one barrel to get the oil. Q: What is used during every step of oil production, from exploration to distribution? A:
OPTIONS:
- coal
- robots
- water
- energy

Answer: energy
