Why are fossil fuels considered non-renewable?

The earth has a limited supply of oil, gas and coal at least in practical terms. It takes millions of years for the earth to transform dead organic material into these fossil fuels. The supply of fossil fuels we are using today come from organic materials buried generally at least 20 million years ago, and some that were buried more than 200 million years ago This is different from renewable materials, like wood, that can be planted again, so the supply can be renewed Fossil fuels are considered non-renewable sources of energy because when they are burnt, they are finished.

When the last barrel of oil has been pumped out of the ground there is no more. It is non-renewable. Similarly with coal and natural gas The origins of most fossil fuels is over 60 million years old, from the dinosaur age (Mesozoic Era) and the carbon age (within the Paleozoic Era).

When that supply is gone it is gone forever so it is a non renewable resource Renewable fuel grows back or can not be depleted For example: Wind can't be stopped it will always blow Trees grow back if we allow them Oil is under the ground and once it is gone it is gone Because fossil fuels take hundreds of millions of years to form under the Earth's surface. It will take another million years for more to be produced, so we only have a limited supply Eventually, more fossils will be made, but by then we will have run out by how much we use them now. If we stop using them so much than we won't die like we are going to So essentially, all fossil fuels are considered non-renewable.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
