The nonrenewable resource formed by the remains of organisms that lived long ago?
Fossil Fuels:)
A nonrenewable energy resource formed from the remains of organisms that lived long ago?
fossil fuels is the answer correct
Are trees a fossil fuel?
No. Although trees can become fossil fuels, they are not considered fossil fuels until they are decomposed. Fossil fuels are created when organisms die and are decomposed over millions of years. They then form coal, petroleum or natural gas. These fuels are called nonrenewable resources, because they take so long to create. Trees grow relatively fast, so they are considered renewable.
Is Petroleum limited resources?
Petroleum is called "fossil fuel." Fossil fuels are made after a long time out of decaying organisms. Because it takes so long to create fossil fuels, and because it isn't taking us long to use fossil fuels, they are limited. How much petroleum we have left is unknown, but there is a limit.
How long did it take for the animals and plants to turn into fossil fuels?
Like any other plant today but the animals may be slightly different
How have other organisms been affected by long horn bettle?
hwo are you today
Can sea organisms turn into oil?
Yes that is how fossil fuels are made. As plankton and other organisms die they sink to the sea bed. After a long time (millions of years they are covered by sediment and compressed under huge pressure and subjected to lots of heat. This process creates oil which is the basis for all our non renewable fuels
How long did it take to turn the plants and animals into fossil fuels?
No one knows how long it takes, but the current supplies of oil apparently date from organisms that lived hundreds of millions of years ago.
Does it take hundreds of years to form Fossil Fuels?
it takes millions of years. fossil fuels are made from organic matter from dinosaur times that have been buried an processed by the earth until today. that is why fossil fuels are running out because it takes so long to make
Which a leading theory for the formation of fossil fuels?
organic matter
How do fossil fuels contain solar energy?
Fossil fuels come from plants and microscopic organisms, which long ago died and were buried in the earth and slowly transformed into coal, oil, and gas. These plants and microorganisms once, millions of years ago, got their energy from the sun. Thus, all fossil fuels received some solar energy.
Does evolution continue to occur in organisms today?
Absolutely. Evolution isn't an historical process; it is on-going as long as there is life.
