Some fuels are classified as nonrenewable because they?
require a long period of time to form
Why are oil and gas a nonrenewable resource?
A nonrenewable resource is a natural substance that is not replenished with the speed at which it is consumed. Fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal are examples of nonrenewable resources. Humans constantly draw on the reserves of these substances while the formation of new supplies takes eons.
How long does a teenager spend on extracurricular activities?

Is Islam a Nazi religion for brown people?
No. This is a fundamentelly disingenuous portrayal of Islam. (Also, the use of "brown people" makes this claim racist as well, since there are tens of millions of White Muslims, hundreds of millions of Black Muslims, and hundreds of millions of Southeast Asian Muslims.) Islam's claims about the Divine and its worship are not terribly different from Christianity, save that the particulars of what is read, what rituals are practiced, and what is professed to be believed. However, most religions are not interchangeable and have baggage in addition to their claims about the Divine and how to worship/respect it. Islam has a political ideology that accompanies its more central religious teachings. This ideology has been targeted by Anti-Islam bigots as "Islamofascism" because of its apartheid legal discrimination between Muslims and Non-Muslims. However, even political Islam is not anywhere near as repulsive as Nazism. It does not assert a "master race" and require eugenics to create it. It does not require the death and extermination of the second class citizens. It does not require a unitary vision for society in all respects. Most Muslims in the West argue that they do not even want political Islam to be manifest and are fine with the freedom to worship as they see fit.

Why do metabolic pathways require tens to hundreds of different enzymes?
Because each metabolic step is under the regulated control of It's Own Enzyme.
Why did spirit and opportunity land on opposite sides of mars?
Probably because it would make absolutely no sense to spend millions upon millions of dollars to design, build and launch two rovers to look at exactly the same thing. Good scientific research and results require diversity, especially in the beginning stages when you are trying to figure out what it is that you want to research in the first place.
If I decide to hire a limo service for a party next month, will they need a deposit first?
Yes. The service needs to be sure you will show up (if you don't, they lose hundreds of dollars.) and you do not damage the limo. Because of this, they require a booking fee and non-refundable deposit.
Why do people not think the world is thousands of years old?
There are a variety of reasons. First, we have dated material on the earth MUCH older than just a few thousand years. Radioisotopes reveal our earth to be several billion years old. We have dated moon rocks that were 4.5 billion years old, and have every reason to think the earth is older than the moon. Second, there are geologic processes that would require millions of years to occur. We have counted millions of seasonal varves (dark/light striations) in certain sedimentary rocks in some places. There are accumulations of chalk deposits that would require millions of years to form, governed by the slow geologic processes we know account for these formations. Continental drift is a third mechanism by which we know our earth to be hundreds of millions to billions of years old. The current rate of drift would require over a hundred million years to create the Atlantic Ocean, and every indication suggests that rate has remained constant over that period of time. Fossils also reveal substantial changes in climate over vast periods of time.
How the wildfires affect the environment?
Wildfires affect the earth in many ways. Here are some of them:wildfires destroy the earth by destroying animals' homeswe have less wood because of wildfire, obliterating resourceserosion occurs more (trees help decrease erosion) They destroy millions of acres hiof trees which are vital to our survival and for clean O2 or Oxygen.They also require millions of gallons of water to put out, as well as millions of dollars in rebuilding costs. Lastly, they emit a lot of gas and smoke into out atmosphere.
Why do cells require oxygen gas?
