Are fossil fuels inexhaustible?

No, fossil fuels are not inexhaustible. They are non-renewable resources, meaning they are finite and will eventually run out if they continue to be used at current rates. This is why there is a push towards renewable energy sources to replace fossil fuels.


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.


How are fossil fuels dug up?

Fossil fuels are typically dug up through the process of mining or drilling. In the case of coal, it is mined from underground or surface mines. Oil and natural gas are extracted by drilling wells deep into the Earth's crust. Once extracted, the fossil fuels are then transported to refineries or processing plants for further treatment.


What things are made from fossil fuels?

Why is solar energy good to fossil fuels?

because solar energy is renewable (never gets used up), solar energy is energy from the sun, it will never run out....fossil fuels such as oil coal and gas are getting used up fast, they are non renewable and so it is a big issue....so using solar energy is good to fossil fuel because then the fossil fuels will not get used up.
