because when fossil fuels are burned,the fossil fuels are running out more and more and so scientists are trying to figure out a way for fossil fuels to become more of a renewable resourse then a nonrenewable resource so that way we have more of a likely cause that we will have a future use of all the fossil fuel that are about to run out just like an extinct species.


IF more fuels are being made why is fossil fuels called Non-renewable?

Why is waisting elecricity so bad?

Electricity is created using fossil fuels. Fossil fuels take many years to be made, sometimes more than a decade. If people keep wasting electricity we would soon run out of fossil fuels to create more energy which could kill us as we need warmth etc. to live. As fossil fuels take a while to come around,we could be stuck without energy/electricty for ages.


Why does modern technology release more co2?

Modern technology needs more energy to work, which means more fossil fuels need to be burned. Fossil fuels release CO2. With more fossil fuels being burned because of a higher energy demand from modern technology, more CO2 is released.


What is alternative fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels come from fossilied plant matter in the ground. Alternative fuels are alternatives to fossil fuels, and these are mainly carbon fuels that take their carbon from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (as fossil fuels do) but on a carbon cycle with a much shorter term. An example is wood, which can be burned as more trees are growing and absorbing carbon dioxide.


What are the consequences of using fossil fuels?

Hurts the environment, and cars that use fossil fuels generally have more problems than electric. Also more expensive to fill


Why do scientists use fossil fuels?

Scientists use fossil fuels because they are a source of energy that is relatively cheap and readily available. Fossil fuels are used in many scientific processes and experiments that require a consistent and convenient source of power. However, there is a growing concern about the impact of fossil fuels on the environment and efforts are being made to transition to more sustainable energy sources.


What would happen if people keep using fossil fuels?

If you keep using fossil fuels it there will be no more and you cant give off energy.


When fossil fuels are depleted they are essentially gone for?

Gone forever. Fossil fuels are those that were created millions of years ago, and when they are gone, there is no more of them.


Are fossil fuels radioactive?

No, fossil fuels are not radioactive. Fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas are formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. Radioactive materials are not part of the formation process of fossil fuels.


Why are fossil fuels described as fossils?

Because fossil fuels are fossils is the simple answer. Fossil fuels are just large collections of tiny fossils which have undergone a slightly different process which allows them to be flammable.
