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
How long does a fossil fuel last?
Fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources, meaning they are finite in supply and will eventually run out. The length of time it takes for fossil fuels to be depleted depends on various factors such as consumption rates, reserves, and advancement of alternative energy sources. It is estimated that at current consumption rates, fossil fuels could last for several decades to several hundred years.
Are fossil fuels sustainable?
I will rephrase your question- Is the supply of fossil fuels sustainable? The answer is no. In the long run, we will have less and less fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are referred to as non-renewable fuels, which are taken from the earth's resources and used.
Why are fossil fuels nonrewnewable?
Fossil fuels are nonrenewable because they are formed over millions of years from the decayed remains of plants and animals. Since this process takes such a long time, fossil fuels are being consumed faster than they can be replenished, making them nonrenewable resources.
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 for the earth to make fossil fuels and what are they made from?
it 3000 years and over
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
How long will fossil fuels be available for your use?
scientists show that fossil fuels will be nowhere to be found in the next 20 to 30 years
How long will fossil fuels last?
fossil fuels can lastany where from 20-120 years depending on how we treat the earth
Why is their limited supply of fossil fuels on earth?
They take a LONG time to make.
How long does it take to for fossil fuels to form?
10 million years
Has fossil fuel been around million years ago?
Fossil fuels are formed by plant and animal matter that decays differently under immense pressure and large periods of time deep in the earth's crust. As long as there have been plants and animals (subtracting the perhaps million years it takes to actually form the fuel), there have been fossil fuels. In this way, fossil fuels ARE renewable, though it takes a very, very long time. As long as things continue to die and be buried and potentially, to fossilize or decay, there will be fossil fuels, though there is an argument about how long sufficient quantities of these fuels will last.
Are fossil fuels considered renewable?
Yes coal, oil and natural gas are non-renewable fossil fuels because it takes a long time to make them, millions of years.Yes, fossil fuels are nonrenewable because it takes million of years of fossil fuel to form.
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.
How long will it take to make more fossil fuels?
Presumably some millions of years.
