10 million years! So we need another form of energy for when we run out. Fossil fuels were formed when the British Isles were still in the Southern Hemisphere. Yes, it used to be but that was even before the jurrasic period.
Fossil fuels take millions of years to form, so once they are depleted, they are essentially gone for human timescales. However, it is technically possible for more fossil fuels to form over millions of years in the future, but for all practical purposes, once depleted, they are gone.
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
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.
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.
It takes millions of years for fossil fuels to form. The process begins with organic material, such as plants and animals, being buried under layers of sediment and undergoing chemical transformation due to heat and pressure. This slow process results in the formation of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
10 million years
1.
Yes. Three hundred millions years ago fossil fuels began to form, storing carbon safely underground.
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.
yes, as they are fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels take millions of years to form.
All fossil fuels are being used faster than they are replaced. Fossil fuels by definition take millions of years to form.
Fossil fuels take millions of years to form, so once they are depleted, they are essentially gone for human timescales. However, it is technically possible for more fossil fuels to form over millions of years in the future, but for all practical purposes, once depleted, they are gone.
Fossil fuels are considered a non-renewable resource because they take millions of years to form under earths pressure. So once there gone you have to wait a long time before you can have them again.
They take a LONG time to make.
this is stupid dont read this?
yes, as they are fossil fuels.
