When fossil fuels are depleted are they gone forever?
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.
Is fossil fuel rewnable or nonrewnable?
Fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources because they take millions of years to form and cannot be replenished at the same rate they are being consumed. Once fossil fuels are used, they are depleted and cannot be replaced within a human lifetime.
Are fossil fuels limited?
Yes, fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are limited resources because they take millions of years to form. Once they are depleted, they cannot be easily replaced on a human timescale. This is why there is a push towards alternative renewable energy sources.
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.
Why must we be interested in saving fossil fuels?
We need to conserve fossil fuels because they are non-renewable. Once our reserves are depleted, we will have to come up with synthetic fuels. We do have synthetic oil, but not in the quantities that the world needs.

When fossil fuels are depleted they are essentially gone for?
Gone forever. Fossil fuels are those that were created millions of years ago, and when they are gone, there is no more of them.

Why have European nations had a second thoughts about using nuclear power instead of fossil fuels to generate electricity?
Disposal of depleted nuclear fuels its self a pollution problem.

The majority of the worlds electricity is supplied by burning 2 words?
fossil fuels
What nonrenewable energy source?
nonrenewable energy sources are sources that are depleted sources as fossil fuels (wood, coal, natural gas, and oil)

Are fossil fuels renwable?
No, fossil fuels are not renewable resources. They are formed from organic matter that decomposed over millions of years, and their rate of consumption is much faster than their natural replenishment. Once they are depleted, they cannot be easily replaced within a short timeframe.
How do humans go about getting fossil fuels out of the earth?
dig them up!
