Because its being used much faster than it is being made.
nonrenewable resources
fossil fuels
Fossil fuels take millions of years to form.
it takes a very long time for a fossil/fuel to form thats why they cant be renewable
Nonrenewable resources are resources that do not renew themselves at a rate that allows for sustainable economic use. Minerals and metals and fossil fuels are examples of nonrenewable resources.
Fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources.
Two examples of nonrenewable resources are fossil fuels (such as oil and coal) and nuclear fuel (such as uranium). These resources are finite and cannot be easily replaced once they are depleted.
Crude oil.
Paraffin is considered a nonrenewable resource because it is derived from petroleum, which is a finite fossil fuel.
Well, they're nonrenewable. The higher the demand the greater the risk of extinction of a certain nonrenewable resource. When we burn nonrenewable resources, like fossil fuels it creates usable fuel. This causes emission like everyone basically knows to disrupt the atmosphere. One of the greatest fears is that we have no cemented alternative for usable fuel other then nonrenewable resources. When we use it up, what will happen? Not every city is open to using alternatives like wind or solar energy.
