Just as a highway automobile accidentleaves lasting marksof spilled coolant, ........ and oil, the smashing together of gigantic land masses releases and redirects fluids that flow, heat, ......... and deposit, leaving an enduring record of their presence.

Analysing the second blank in the sentence, we see that we need to look for a word that complements the sentence in the message that it leaves a lasting impression of the accident.
