Detailed explanation-1: -Fossil fuels are non-renewable, this means that their supply is limited and they will eventually run out. Fossil fuels formed from the decomposition of plants and animals from millions of years ago this is why they are called fossil fuels.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fossil fuels like coal and petroleum are formed from the decayed plants and animals buried under the Earth. It takes millions of years for them to decay and convert into fossil fuels. So, fossil fuels like coal, petroleum, etc cannot be replenished easily and hence, it is considered as a non-renewable source of energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources. As it takes millions of years for them to form and the supply is not never-ending, this means they are not a reliable, renewable source of energy to be used across the world. Since fossil fuels take such a long time to be created, we can’t simply wait for more to formed.
Detailed explanation-4: -FOSSIL FUELS FORM. After millions of years underground, the compounds that make up plankton and plants turn into fossil fuels. Plankton decomposes into natural gas and oil, while plants become coal. Today, humans extract these resources through coal mining and the drilling of oil and gas wells on land and offshore.
