Question

5 consequence of over extraction and over use of coal and petroleum and 5 ways of conservation of fossil fuels

Answer 1

Coal Mining: Extraction of coal from areas that have huge reserves is not only a difficult and dangerous task but also poses a serious health hazard to the lives of several workers who work there. The coal mining destroys wide areas of land and results in ecological imbalance.
Need Huge Amount of Reserves: The coal power plants requires huge and regular supply of coal to produce large amount of energy on a constant basis. This means that these plants need train-loads of fuel near power stations to carry out the process of generating power. This is needed as many countries are still dependent on coal as a major source for producing power.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

CONSEQUENCES OF OVEREXTRACTION AND OVERUSE OF COAL AND PETROLEUM

*The natural deposits of coal and petroleum will get exhausted on over extraction.

*Import of coal and petroleum will increase.

*Petroleum products will become costly and may go beyond the reach of ordinary people

*Burning of fossil fuels releases considerable amount of pollutants in the atmosphere.

*The burning of fossil fuels is adding excessive amount of carbon dioxide in the air leading to  greenhouse effect which can cause global warming.

* Fossil fuels take million of years to form. They are limited or exhaustible resources and therefore need to be conserved. These can be preserved by

Careful use and management in order to reduce its unwanted loss and minimize its unnecessary use.

Instead of using fossil fuel for energy, we should use renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy etc.

we can conserve it by using energy efficient devices that consume less fuel

We can use public transport for commuting in and around
