Peat is a mixture of partially decomposed plant and animal material found in waterlogged, acidic, anaerobic environments. people

debate whether peat is a fossil fuel. to be considered a fossil fuel, a material must be of biologic origin, be used as a source of energy, and replenish on a time scale greater than human lifetimes. peat reserves have declined over time. however, peat harvesters claim that a restoration process can make peat a renewable resource and allow it to be classified as a biofuel. the restoration process is outlined in the table. which conclusion can be drawn based on the information in the table?

because the total time for restoration is lengthy, peat can be considered a fossil fuel. The correct option is B.

<h3>What exactly are fossil fuels?</h3>

Fossil fuels are fuels derived from the remains of dead plants and animals that decomposed over time under intense heat and pressure.

Because their replenishment time is longer than a human lifetime, fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources.

Some examples of fossil fuels are petroleum, coal, etc.

The missing options of the question are:

  1. peat is a fossil fuel because rewetting it takes only 3-5 years.
  2. peat is a fossil fuel because the total time for restoration is lengthy.
  3. peat is not a fossil fuel because it has biologic origins, making it a biofuel.
  4. peat is not a fossil fuel because humans can promote the replenishment of peat.

The restoration process of peat takes a long time of more than 100 years. As a result, because the total time for restoration is lengthy, peat can be considered a fossil fuel.

Thus, the correct option is B.

What are tomatoes? fruit vegetables flowers roots?
Zigmanuir [339]

The confusion about 'fruit' and 'vegetable' arises because of the differences in usage between scientists and cooks. Scientifically speaking, a tomato is definitely a fruit. True fruits are developed from the ovary in the base of the flower, and contain the seeds of the plant (though cultivated forms may be seedless). Blueberries, raspberries, and oranges are true fruits, and so are many kinds of nut. Some plants have a soft part which supports the seeds and is also called a 'fruit', though it is not developed from the ovary: the strawberry is an example.

As far as cooking is concerned, some things which are strictly fruits, such as tomatoes orbean pods, may be called 'vegetables' because they are used in savoury rather than sweet cooking. The term 'vegetable' is more generally used of other edible parts of plants, such as cabbage leaves, celery stalks, and potato tubers, which are not strictly the fruit of the plant from which they come. Occasionally the term 'fruit' may be used to refer to a part of a plant which is not a fruit, but which is used in sweet cooking: rhubarb, for example.

So, the answer to the question is that a tomato is technically the fruit of the tomato plant, but it's used as a vegetable in cooking.


Hope this helps :)
