Fossil Fuels are created when the remains of plants and creatures are put under extreme pressure for extremely long periods of time. There Isn't an infinite amount of vegetation and creatures that lived that long ago, therefore there isn't an infinite amount of Fossil Fuels.

Why are fossil fuels considered non-renewable?

Because fossil fuels take hundreds of millions of years to form under the Earth's surface. It will take another million years for more to be produced, so we only have a limited supply. Eventually, more fossils will be made, but by then we will have run out by how much we use them now. If we stop using them so much than we wont die like we are going to. So essentially, all fossil fuels are considered non-renewable.


Why are some resources called nonrenewable?

Non-renewable sources of energy like coal, oil and natural gas are called fossil fuels because they were laid down in the earth, like fossils, millions of years ago.Other non-renewable resources, like gold, aluminum, diamonds etc, are not referred to as fossil fuels.


Why should non renewable resources be used wisely?

Non-renewable resources like fossil fuels are finite and can be depleted if not managed wisely. Over-reliance on these resources can lead to environmental damage, pollution, and contribute to climate change. Conserving and using them efficiently can help ensure their availability for future generations and reduce their impact on the environment.


What is the difference between adaptation and mitigation strategies with respect to climate changes?

adaptation is the one that help them live because if they don't have their adaptation then they wont live example: pegions has hopping and clinging onto branches and some don't because for pegions that's the adaptations they get to help them surive strategies:Strategy refers to a plan of action designed to achieve a particular goal.


How does technology impact on global warming?

Technology has given us thousands of electric and electronic gadgets that make our lives easier and happier. Unfortunately, they all use electricity. Most electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon that has been stored away for millions of years. This carbon adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The greenhouse gases contribute to global warming.

How is oil controlled to ensure it wont run out?

Oil is limited and takes millions of years to form from condensed plant and animal matter. We cannot maintain usage of oil and fossil fuels forever, they WILL deplete themselves at the current rate of usage. It will "run out" as long as the world requires it. There is no way to stop this other than to abandon its use entirely and find alternatives.


Why are renewable resources becoming more popular?

Well for one the world is running out, not immediately, but in the bigger picture, yes. Right now fossil fuels that took millions and billions of years to create are our main source. Obviously you cant burn the same thing twice, therefore renewable energy such as wind turbines theoretically are much more practical. The world wont run out of wind, or currents in the ocean. Therefore they can be used again and again where as fossil fuels are used once, pollute the air, and get more and more expensive
