Non-renewable fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas.

They are called fossil fuels because they are made out of fossilized vegetation and animal matter that was laid down under the ground millions of years ago.

They are called non-renewable because when they are burnt (in industry, transport and to generate electricity) they are gone for ever. They can only be used once. (Unlike sunshine or wind power, which can be used over and over, and are called renewable.)

Because they are literally non renewable, meaning we do not have an infinite source of fossil fuels. At some point, probably within the next 50 years, we will run out of these harmful energy sources.

No, fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are not renewable. They took millions and millions of years to form and are being used up in a time scale of hundreds of years. When they are gone, it will take millions of years again for the processes that create coal and oil to happen.

When we use them, they are gone. This is the opposite of renewable sources of energy, like wind and solar, which can be used over and over.
NO, Fossil fuels are not considered a renewable resource. Once we've burned them all, there isn't anymore.
No. It take many year for fossil fuels to be made and they are considered not renewable

Although it is renewable, it takes so long to do so and we're using it up too fast it's considered non-renewable.
