Explain howfossil fuels are formed and why they are described as non-renewable?
fossil fuels are made from hydrocarbons of fossils of early life that has been locked away for millions of years
Energy source that was formed millions years ago from the rimains of living organims?
Fossil fuels.
What is one way in which fossils fuels and wind power is different?
Wind does not take millions of years to make where as fossil fuels do.
What are a fossile fuels?

What are 4 fossils fuels and why are they called fossil?
oil, coal, natural gas, coke they are called fossil fuels because they are as old as fossils. They take thousands, if not millions of years to turn into what they are.
Are fossil fuels fossils?
Yes. They are a large group of fossils which are full of the energy of the dead creatures or plants which formed them.
What happened to the normal process of decay which resulted in fossil fuels being formed?
That process still occurs today, the problem is that it has, and still does take an extremely long time. Plants were decaying for millions of years before humans discovered that fossil fuels were a good energy source, now it's only been about 150 years since then (the Industrial Revolution in Europe, when fossil fuels began to be used in large amounts), so very little fuel has been produced. It would take millions upon millions of years to replace the fossils fuels that we have consumed.
Are fossil fuels formed naturally and quickly?
Fossil fuels are formed naturally, yes, from crushed and pressurised organic matter.Fossil fuels are not formed quickly; they take millions of years to develop.
How was fossil fuels created?
Fossils are formed from millions of years ago when sometime during the extinction of the dinosaurs, their skeletons get caught in rocks during Earth's process of Erosion. Fossils of other prehistoric creatures, like the Sea Monsters, were fossilized earlier before and/or after the K-1 Event.
What sedimentary rocks where formed from the remains of plants and animals burned as fuels?
