Question

03 Explain why fossil fuel are exhaustible natural resources?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The formation of fossil fuels is a very slow process, it takes millions of years. Hence, the amount of resources available for use is limited and is being exhausted by human activities like industrialization, rapid growth, etc. Thus, fossil fuels are exhaustible natural resources.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Fossils : After millions of years underground, the compounds that make up plankton and plants turn into fossil fuels. Plankton decomposes into natural gas and oil, while plants become coal. Today, humans extract these resources through coal mining and the drilling of oil and gas wells on land and offshore.

Since, they take millions of years to form that's why they are limited and are called exhaustible natural resource.

• On the other hand after burning fossil fuels the energy evolved is transferred to another form so we can't use it again in its previous form which make it's exhaustible nature.
