Answer:
What is a characteristic of fossil fuel?
They do not cause pollution.
They are formed quickly.
They are renewable.
They are found deep within the earth.
They are found deep within the earth. (This is the answer, my research is below:)
Explanation:
- Fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources. This means that we use them much more quickly than nature makes them. Remember: coal, oil, and natural gas take millions of years to form.
- Fossil fuels are the major cause of air pollutants in the air. The following air pollutants air released due to burning of fossil fuels. (i)Oxides of sulphur: Fossil fuels contain sulphur. On combustion they produce sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide. These oxides form sulphuric acid and sulphurous acid in the atmosphere. These acids are harmful and corrode the marble. (ii) Oxides of carbon: Fossil fuels produce carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Both are noxious gases. (iii) Oxides nitrogen: Nitrogen dioxide is a pungent gas and is produced by the oxidation of nitric oxide. (iv)Particulate matter: Generated from automobiles and industries. (v)Ethylene: It is produced from incomplete combustion of fossil fuels by automobiles.
- Fossil fuels are a non-renewable source of energy. Most of the energy used by us is obtained by the burning of fossil fuels. These fossil fuels are used up at a faster rate. They cannot be regrown at a scale compared to their consumption. With the increased demand for the production of various energies, fossil fuel energy is declining. It is difficult to replace them. That is why they are known as a non-renewable source of energy.
- Fossil remains suitable for fuel (hydrocarbons) are found all around the world. They are all underground.
"Fossil fuels" are formed and stored over time in rock formations. They would not form or remain if they were exposed above ground. Different sources and geological conditions create different forms, such as oil, gases and coal.
Fossil fuels are made from decomposing plants and animals. These fuels are found in the Earth’s crust and contain carbon and hydrogen, which can be burned for energy. Coal, oil, and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels.
