Detailed explanation-1: -Other resources, like fossil fuels, are called nonrenewable, which means they have a limited supply and are not continuously being made or they are made very slowly. Once a nonrenewable resource is used up, it is gone for good. Most natural resources, including fossil fuels, are not distributed evenly around the Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fossil fuels are finite. At some point-whether it is 50 years or 200 years, depending on who you ask-we will run out of coal, oil and natural gas. While there are valiant efforts to control usage, our reliance on fossil fuels continues to increase globally with no end in sight.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Fossil fuels are not distributed evenly across the Earth. The United States, Russia, and China have the largest coal deposits in the world. Sizable deposits also are located in Australia, India, and South Africa. More than half of the world’s known oil and natural gas reserves are located in the Middle East.

Detailed explanation-5: -It is predicted that we will run out of fossil fuels in this century. Oil can last up to 50 years, natural gas up to 53 years, and coal up to 114 years. Yet, renewable energy is not popular enough, so emptying our reserves can speed up.
