It's limited so it could only go more and more expensive.
When used it release pollutants to air.

Why is crude oil the most common source of fuel?
Crude oil is relatively common, easy to get to and cheap compared with any other non renewable fuel sources. Furthermore it has many different uses once distilled and gives out a high amount of energy.
How many gallons of gasoline are there in a barrel of crude oil?
Zero. A barrel or crude oil contains... crude oil.
What are energy resources how could you decrease their use?
Energy resources are natural sources of energy, either directly or as the fuel used for generating electricity in a steam turbine. Some energy resources are wood, coal, crude oil, natural gas, uranium, solar power, wind power, water power and ground heat (terrestrial thermal energy). Perhaps the most effective way to cause a decrease in the use of an energy resource in the short term is to make an alternative energy resource at least as convenient but less expensive. More important, and probably more effective in the long term, is for each individual to do his/her part in causing a reduction in the use of energy resources. Such acts of conservation include, but are not limited to, reducing your use of heating and air conditioning, taking shorter showers, choosing more efficient appliances (like gas driers and water heaters instead of electric), switching from incandescent or fluorescent lighting to LEDs (light-emitting diodes), turning off the light when you're the last to leave a room, and making your own compost instead of using store-bought fertilizer.
What is the difference between total fat and crude fat?
crude fat is the fat with alcohol
Write a short paragraph summarising why crude oil is the most common source of fuel even though alternatives are available?
Crude oil is relatively common, easy to get to and cheap compared with any other non renewable fuel sources. Furthermore it has many different uses once distilled and gives out a high amount of energy.
Why do we need non conventional sources of energy?
Because conventional source of energy like crude oil or coal is depleting. A new area of fuel usable is needed to fill civilizationdemand.
Is it possible to meet energy resources using crude oil?
Yes, until crude oil (a non-renewable resource) finally runs out.
Are cars a material resource or an energy resource?
Personally, I would put cars in the category of Goods, but if forced to choose between your choices I would say material resource. Energy resources would be coal, crude oil, natural gas, wind, solar, etc.
Is Crude oil a renewable energy source?
Yes it is, like all forms of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What resource that is a surplus of in the Middle East?
Oil. Crude oil that is.
Is crude oil renewable?
No, crude oil is a non-renewable resource, that means that when it is all pumped out of the ground no more will appear.
How does crude oil turn in energy?
Crude Oil is refined into gasoline.
What is a natural resource used to make polypropylene?
it is made of crude oil.
What important resource is Dubai possibly going to run out of?
crude oil
What natural resource are plastics paints paints and gasoline made from?
Crude oil.
Why cant you renew a nonrenewable resource?
A non-renewable source is a product of the Earth that we use as an energy source (such as crude oil). We find these particular non-renewable sources from under the groun and in the sea, where we extract it and sell it as energy. Eventually, these resources will run out, as we are extracting at a faster pace than crude oil generates (crude oil is made from decomposed animals and plants over millions of years). This is why we are trying to use renewable sources such as wind energy. The wind will never 'run out'.
What are the condition for a substance to be called a resource?
A resource is something that we can use over and over again. For instance, sunlight (solar energy), wind energy, and the tides (tidal energy) are such resources. If we cut down mature soft wood or hard wood trees, and then replant new trees for the (long term) future, that is arenewable resource.A non-renewable resource is coal, natural gas and crude oil. Once used there is no natural replacement.
