An energy-rich substance formed from the remains of organisms is?
Fossil Fuels =)
What chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels?
Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
What is fossil fuels that can be obtained using current technology called?
Fossil fuels that can be obtained using current technology are called proven reserves.
What is the difference between the Greenhouse Effect and fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources that can be burned to get energy. The Greenhouse Effect is, in part, the result of burning fossil fuels. In this example, fossil fuels would be a causative agent that creates an effect on the environment, specifically, the Earth's atmosphere.
What fuels are fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are primarily composed of hydrocarbons, which are molecules made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms. The main types of fossil fuels include coal, oil, and natural gas, all of which were formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that underwent geological processes over millions of years.
Why are scientist concerned about burning fossil fuels?
Because it is considered a non-renewable resource, meaning there is a limited supply of it. They are concerned because at the rate we are using fossil fuels they won't last us much longer.

How is the US' consumption of fossil fuels affecting the supply and demand of these products?
How is the United States' consumption of fossil fuels affecting the supply and demand of these products?
Why are people concerned about the sustainability of fossil fuels?
A sustainable lifestyle is one that can be lived without damaging or polluting other people and things. Fossil fuels emit pollution which is a serious threat to the future of the human race. Fossil fuels are also being used up and are not being renewed. So there is no sustainability of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
How do war effect fossil fuels?
war doesn't effect fossil fuels , but it does effect fossil fuel prices when a country that has large amount of fossil fuel reserves is politically unstable it will reduce the amount of fossil fuels that can be delivered from it , there by increasing the price since the law of supply states that the lower the supply the higher the price
When is the World's supply of fossil fuels thought to run out?
2030
Why is the supply of fossil fuels limited?
The supply of fossil fuels is limited because they are formed from organic materials like plants and animals that take millions of years to break down and transform into coal, oil, and gas. Since fossil fuels are being extracted and burned at a much faster rate than they are being replenished, their reserves are depleting rapidly.
What is a renuable energy source?
Fossil fuels. Anything with a finite supply.
Why are people trying to minimize the use of fossil fuels?
Because the more we burn fossil fuels the more it contributes to negative climate change such as global warming through the greenhouse effect. Fossil fuels are also a in limited supply and so we need to cut back or come up with other solutions.
How did people discover fossil fuels?
People might have started digging the surface of earth and that is how they found the fossil fuels.The fossil fuels were then used to get energy and light.
What is the point of reusing?
Waste reduction. Maximizing available supply fossil fuels.
Why is their limited supply of fossil fuels on earth?
They take a LONG time to make.
