Don't answer unnecessarily, I'll report as well as file a complaint against you in the brainly office.
Well wishers are gladly invited to answer.
I already googled but can't find relevant answers. so don't suggest me this.

Explanation:
1) For industrial purposes: Car industries, transportation industries and also steel industries use fossil fuels to a greater extent and thus become causes of the fossil fuel-depletion. 2) Household purposes: The electricity, heating that one uses in homes and offices has depleted the fossil fuels.
Fossil fuel depletion is the extraction of natural gas, oil and coal reserves at a rate higher than nature replenishes them.
Fossil fuels cause environmentally unsafe compounds to form in the atmosphere, depleting ozone levels and thus creating a spike in skin cancer rates. Burning coal releases sulfur oxide while the combustion of car engines and power plants gives off nitrogen oxides, which cause smog.
Fossil fuels have been used for centuries to generate power, but there are many disadvantages associated with their use: Fossil fuels pollute the environment. Fossil fuels are non-renewable and unsustainable. Drilling for fossil fuels is a dangerous process.
Fossil fuels are of great importance because they can be burned (oxidized to carbon dioxide and water), producing significant amounts of energy per unit mass. The use of coal as a fuel predates recorded history. Coal was used to run furnaces for the smelting of metal ore.
