because they are finite;)
fossil fuels are called finite fuels because unlike renewable reasources like electricity, there is a limitid amount of coal/oil e.t.c inside the earth, so it is finite
because they are limited resources.
Fossil fuels. Anything with a finite supply.
Fossil fuels are formed from the bodies of millions of years deceased animals. For this reason, fossil fuels should be conserved because they are a very finite resource.
Fossil fuels are a specific type of fuel that is made up of prehistoric animals and plants. This type of fuel is considered finite and non-renewable because they take millions of years to create.
they are infinite, because they will always keep being made
Yes !... There is a 'finite' amount of fossil fuels left on the Earth - eventually it will run out !
Finite, the opposite of infinite, refers to something that has an end or will end. The universe is infinite, whereas fossil fuels will someday be exhausted, and we can't make more.
Because fossil fuels are fossils is the simple answer. Fossil fuels are just large collections of tiny fossils which have undergone a slightly different process which allows them to be flammable.
Because they are a finite resource - which means when they are gone, we can't produce more.
Fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas were formed over millions of years. By definition, the world is a finite place and so must fossil fuels be. They can not be instantaneously replaced. It is why the world is trying to move to renewables such as tidal, wind, wave, solar etc
they release fossil fuels in to the atmosphere, fossil fuels is mainly coal and they pollute the atmosphere and rivers as you said.
