Uranium is used moreso because it is in fact NOT a fossil fuel. It is a heavy metal mined from an ore, and it's energy process is call nuclear fission.

What determines dependency on uranium?

The lack of fossil fuels (for energy) and the intention to destroy other countries (for nuclear weapons of imperialists).


What are two examples of non-renewable material resources?

Uranium and fossil fuels - or if you like to be clever - fissile fuels and fossil fuels... On the human time scale, fossil fuels are not being replenished. We can manufacture the same chemicals that are found in fossil fuels but we can't create new oil oil, coal and natural gas fields within our lifetimes - or for that matter within our 10,000 times great-grandchildren's lifetimes. Once Uranium has been used (in a fission reactor) it is converted to isotopes of other elements and is not replenished by natural processes.

What are the other options can be used instead of oils?

Some alternatives to oils in cooking/baking include using applesauce, mashed banana, Greek yogurt, or pureed avocado as a substitute for moisture. In some cases, you can also use broth or water for cooking certain dishes instead of oil.


Which of the following is not a fossil fuel coal natural gas uranium or oil?

Uranium. The other three (coal, natural gas, and oil) are all fossil fuels, formed in similar ways from organic material compressed beneath the surface. A+ solar energy


What are reactor and uranium are used in the production of?

A nuclear reactor is a facility which produce electricity and heat from the fission of uranium or plutonium.The energy released by fission of uranium-235 (or other isotopes) is immense compared to the energy content of fossil fuels.


Does electricity use fossil fuels?

There are many sources of energy that can be converted to electric energy. In many countries, most electric energy is produced by fossil fuels -- mostly coal, some natural gas, etc. However, in a few countries such as France and Belgium, most electric energy is produced from something other than fossil fuels. What can you use instead of fossil fuels?


Do they burn fossil fuels in Iraq?

Yes. Fossil Fuels are used worldwide. Iraq is an exporter of oil, but an importer of gasoline. Other fossil fuels are used as well.


How do fossil fuels turn into natural gas?

Natural gas is a fossil fuel. Other fossil fuels do not "turn into" natural gas.


Are fossil fuels alternative energy?

No. Alternative energy means energy sources other than fossil fuels.
