Why are fossil fuels useful to the earth?
They can be used for power plants, gas and oil and MUCH MORE
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.
What led humans to burn more fossil fuels?
Energy led human to burn more fossil fuels
Why is the burning of fossil fuels a concern for a scientists?
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.

What will happen if humans use fossil fuels more rapidly than they are formed?
We'll run out of fossil fuels eventually.
IF more fuels are being made why is fossil fuels called Non-renewable?
New fuels are being made, like ethanol, which can be made from biomass, a quickly growing vegetation. These fuels are usually called renewable.Fossil fuels take millions of years to form, so they are called non-renewable.
How does solar energy reduce the use of fossil fuels?
Most countries burn fossil fuels to generate electricity.If they used solar power to generate electricity, thenThey would not have to use so much fossil fuel.Solar Energy itself does not reduce the use of fossil fuels. But the use of solar energy should hopefully reduce the need of fossil fuels to create energy, so therefore the more we can use solar power as an energy source instead of fossil fuels, the more we reduce the use of fossil fuels.
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.
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.
Are all fuels examples of chemical energy?
They don't have to be. Some fuels are fossil fuels, which are rapidly disappearing right now. Some examples of fossil fuels are oil, which we use for gas, and coal, which we use for heat and electricity. But fossil fuels take millions of years to make more, so we are rapidly using up the fossil fuels of the world.
In what way are biomass and fossil fuels similar?
Fossil fuels and biomass fuels have similar origins. Firewood is an example of a biomass fuel. Fossil fuels are similar to biomass in that their creation also begins with microorganisms and plants using energy from the sun to fix CO2 into carbohydrates but there are several more steps in the creation of fossil fuels.
