What else can I help you with?
The nonrenewable resource formed by the remains of organisms that lived long ago?
Fossil Fuels:)
Is Petroleum limited resources?
Petroleum is called "fossil fuel." Fossil fuels are made after a long time out of decaying organisms. Because it takes so long to create fossil fuels, and because it isn't taking us long to use fossil fuels, they are limited. How much petroleum we have left is unknown, but there is a limit.
How long did it take for the animals and plants to turn into fossil fuels?
Like any other plant today but the animals may be slightly different
How have other organisms been affected by long horn bettle?
hwo are you today
A nonrenewable energy resource formed from the remains of organisms that lived long ago?
One example of a nonrenewable energy resource formed from ancient organisms is fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These resources are finite and take millions of years to form, making them unsustainable for long-term energy needs.
Explain why some fuels are fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are made from the remains of ancient organisms like plants and animals that have been buried for millions of years. This organic matter gets transformed into fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas through heat and pressure underground. Their formation process over such a long timescale is what makes them known as fossil fuels.
How long did it take to turn the plants and animals into fossil fuels?
No one knows how long it takes, but the current supplies of oil apparently date from organisms that lived hundreds of millions of years ago.
Can sea organisms turn into oil?
Yes that is how fossil fuels are made. As plankton and other organisms die they sink to the sea bed. After a long time (millions of years they are covered by sediment and compressed under huge pressure and subjected to lots of heat. This process creates oil which is the basis for all our non renewable fuels
How do fossil fuels contain solar energy?
Fossil fuels come from plants and microscopic organisms, which long ago died and were buried in the earth and slowly transformed into coal, oil, and gas. These plants and microorganisms once, millions of years ago, got their energy from the sun. Thus, all fossil fuels received some solar energy.
Which a leading theory for the formation of fossil fuels?
organic matter
Does evolution continue to occur in organisms today?
Absolutely. Evolution isn't an historical process; it is on-going as long as there is life.
What can happen to the carbon compounds in Organisms that die and decay in the absence of oxygen?
When organisms die and decay in the absence of oxygen, their carbon compounds can undergo anaerobic decomposition, a process where microorganisms break down the compounds and produce substances like methane or organic acids. This can contribute to the formation of fossil fuels over long periods of time.
