Why are nonrenewables also called fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are those which are naturally created from living organisms, usually only under certain conditions and a very long period of time. The most important ones are coal, oil, and natural gas. They usually consist mostly of hydrocarbons. Nonrenewable fuels are those which are only replenished on a geological timescale or not at all. They include both the above listed fuels as well as uranium, which is not being replenished but at the same time cannot be considered a fossil fuel due to its creation process. In summary: --Fossil fuels have organic origins. --Nonrenewable fuels are not being replaced on any reasonable timescale. They are often confused because of their significant overlap, but are not the same thing.
How might an increased use of alternate energy sources such as wind and solar radiation affect the lifetime of fossil fuel resources?
If we use more alternate energy, then we will use less fossil fuel energy, so fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) will have a longer life time.Anything and EVERYTHING that will have a detrimental impact upon the use of fossil fuels may just increase 'Our Life Time'.
What are advantages of fossil fuels on other fuels?
The main advantage is that the government earns a lot of taxes on fossil fuels. Another advantage is the energy density, because it is higher than on alternative fuels.
What advantage does solar energy have compared to using fossil fuels?
1. The sun is always there and always will be, though of course the solar energy received at any site depends on season and amount of cloud cover, whilst fossil fuels will be used up at some future time, and can't be replaced 2. Use of solar power does not produce CO2 or other undesirable emissions
What are four advantages for fossil fuels?
four advantages for fossil fuels: Fossil fuels have high energy density, are readily transportable, are usable with current infrastructure, and
Can cars run on fosil fuel?
Most cars run on fosil fuels, Petrol, Diesel,
What province in Canada has most fosil fuels?
Alberta
How does power plants run on fossil fuels?
fdg fosil fuels are great for transportation
How are fosil fuels formed?
they are made of decayed organisms (apex)
What are the different types of fosil fuels?
Coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
A ressource that cannot be replaced in a persons lifetime is called a?
A resource that cannot be replaced in a person's lifetime is called a non-renewable resource. These resources, such as fossil fuels, minerals, and certain metals, are finite and take millions of years to form, making them irreplaceable within a human timescale. Once depleted, they cannot be regenerated or restored, leading to significant environmental and economic implications.
What can Britain do as a country to reduce CO2 emissions?
Reduce its need for fosil fuels to generate its energy and power its tranportation system.
What resources that cannot replaced are?
Any resource that is not renewable, or self-renewing, cannot be replaced (at least, not in our lifetime).Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are a good example, as they took hundreds of millions of years to turn from organic material to fuel.
How can you make fosil fuels last longer?
The earth only has a finite amount of fossil fuels. Using them efficiently will help make them last as long as possible. Using fuel efficient cars, taking the bus, and walking more can help make fossil fuels last longer.
Resources that are not replaced by nature?
fossil fuels
Why are fosil fuels burnt?
Fossil fuels are burned to generate energy in the form of heat or electricity. This energy is used for various human activities such as transportation, heating, and powering electrical devices. However, burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.
Is solar energy being used in Australia?
Some but the Australian Government prefers the use of fosil fuels for as long as possible so only lip service is being given to it.
