Benefits: Mostly everything we use in the world needs fossil fuels. Gasoline for cars, energy for light, etc. The world has used it for many years and is still using it.Limitations: Fossil fuels will run out eventually, so if we do not start using renewable energy we could be in BIG trouble! Fossil fuels also harm the planet. It adds too much carbon dioxide to the ozone. Fossil fuels also harm the plants and animals in the planet too.
What are two environmental disadvantage to burning fossil fuels to provide energy?
There are many disadvantages of burning fossil fuels.

If fossil fuels are still forming why are they considered to be a nonrenewable resource?
Well, they are technically still forming, but fossil fuels form over millions of years. We call it non-renewable because there is no way for us to form more of it ourselves in our lifetimes. If we use it all up, it is gone, and we won't be alive when another big supply of it would be available.

How does burning fossil fuels affect the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the rocky crust of the earth, Earth's surface. Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) has no real effect on the lithosphere, but has a very big effect on the atmosphere.
Why is solar energy good to fossil fuels?
because solar energy is renewable (never gets used up), solar energy is energy from the sun, it will never run out....fossil fuels such as oil coal and gas are getting used up fast, they are non renewable and so it is a big issue....so using solar energy is good to fossil fuel because then the fossil fuels will not get used up.
What is one of the main major sources of energy on earth?
fossil fuels is a big one. another is solar power.
How do living things turn into fossil fuels?
You melt it down in big fires.. And then it gets shipped to manufacturers who turn it into product.
What can we do to make sure that Global Warming doesn't become a disaster for the future?
We have to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels by moving to renewable energy. Stopping the burning of fossil fuels is the one big thing we have to do. The other thing to do is plant and nourish billions of trees all over the world to make up for our deforestation.
What are the disadvantageous of burning fossil fuels?
There are no disadvantages in burning less fossil fuel, except that the oil company's profits might be less. There is however a big advantage because less carbon dioxide would be created and dumped into the atmosphere.
