Does it take hundreds of years to form Fossil Fuels?
it takes millions of years. fossil fuels are made from organic matter from dinosaur times that have been buried an processed by the earth until today. that is why fossil fuels are running out because it takes so long to make
Why fossil fuels are regarded as infinite resource?
Fossil fuels are not regarded as an infinite resource. They are finite. Oil wells get used up and run dry. In the very long term, it is possible that new deposits of fossil fuel will be created by the same process that created the existing deposits, however, that takes millions of years, which means that for our purposes, fossil fuels will run out.
Are trees a fossil fuel?
No. Although trees can become fossil fuels, they are not considered fossil fuels until they are decomposed. Fossil fuels are created when organisms die and are decomposed over millions of years. They then form coal, petroleum or natural gas. These fuels are called nonrenewable resources, because they take so long to create. Trees grow relatively fast, so they are considered renewable.
How do fossil fuels get their name and what is the significance behind it?
Fossil fuels are named because they are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. The significance of this name is that it highlights the fact that these fuels are non-renewable resources that take a very long time to form, making them finite and unsustainable in the long term.
Why are fossil fuels a nonrenewable resource?
Fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources because they are formed over millions of years from the decomposition of organic materials such as plants and animals. The rate at which fossil fuels are consumed far exceeds the rate at which they are naturally replenished, making them finite and unsustainable in the long term. Once they are extracted and burned, they cannot be replaced within a human lifespan.
How long does it take to for fossil fuels to form?
10 million years
Why is their limited supply of fossil fuels on earth?
They take a LONG time to make.
How long does it take for the earth to make fossil fuels and what are they made from?
it 3000 years and over
How long will it take to make more fossil fuels?
Presumably some millions of years.
Does it take hundreds of years to form Fossil Fuels?
it takes millions of years. fossil fuels are made from organic matter from dinosaur times that have been buried an processed by the earth until today. that is why fossil fuels are running out because it takes so long to make
Do fossil fuels take a long time even millions of years to develop?
Yes. Three hundred millions years ago fossil fuels began to form, storing carbon safely underground.
Why fossil fuels are regarded as infinite resource?
Fossil fuels are not regarded as an infinite resource. They are finite. Oil wells get used up and run dry. In the very long term, it is possible that new deposits of fossil fuel will be created by the same process that created the existing deposits, however, that takes millions of years, which means that for our purposes, fossil fuels will run out.
Is any kind of fossil fuel a natural resource?
No, all fossil fuels take too long to replace. try butt juice its delish.
Why is it difficult to give the exact date on how long it will take for fossil fuels reserves to run out?
Because they are all different
Why does it matter if you burn fossil fuels?
When we burn fossil fuels, that fossil fuel is gone. *POOF!* And it'll take millions of years for the nonrenewable resource to form again. Therefore we need to conserve fossil fuels as much as possible.
Why are fossil fuels a relatively short term source of energy?
It's because they take millions of years to form - but we're using them up far much faster than they can be created.
Why is waisting elecricity so bad?
Electricity is created using fossil fuels. Fossil fuels take many years to be made, sometimes more than a decade. If people keep wasting electricity we would soon run out of fossil fuels to create more energy which could kill us as we need warmth etc. to live. As fossil fuels take a while to come around,we could be stuck without energy/electricty for ages.
