Give reasons for the following statements:-
a) Deposition of fossil fuels are limited
b) Nature gas is convenient to use as a fuel
c)Solar energy is the source of all forms of energy
Answers
Answer:
a) Although new deposits continue to be discovered, the reserves of the principal fossil fuels remaining on Earth are limited. The amounts of fossil fuels that can be recovered economically are difficult to estimate, largely because of changing rates of consumption and future value as well as technological developments.
b) Natural gas is a non-renewable hydrocarbon used as a source of energy for heating, cooking, and electricity generation. ... Natural gas can be efficiently burned to generate heat and electricity, emitting less waste and toxins at the point of use relative to other fossil and biomass fuels.
c) Solar energy
Sunlight is one of our planet's most abundant and freely available energy resources. The amount of solar energy that reaches the earth's surface in one hour is more than the planet's total energy requirements for a whole year.
