Answers
Answer:
A is the questions answer
Answer:
It is because they are actually fossils. They are made of dead and decay matter buried under the earth for many years. The dead and decaying matter under great amount of pressure and temperatures turn into fossils and they both are used as fuels so it is called fossil fuels.
The fossil fuels we use today are actually formed from plants and animals that existed hundreds of millions of years ago. The reason there is a lot of concern surrounding the expenditure of these resources is because most of what we use today from fossil fuels, such as oil and coal are being depleted much faster than they can be formed, so there is a limited amount available.
Hence, the statement is true.
