Why will fossil fuels run out one day

Biology
2 answers:
Tatiana [17]3 years ago

Because they are finite resources. We, as a population, are using these resources in an unsustainable* way, meaning we are using up more of the resources than can be provided - it takes thousands of years for fossil fuels to form and we are using them in a shorter time span.
According to many scientists, we have passed 'peak' production for many of these fossil fuels, which means they are in decline.

*sustainability: meeting the needs of the current without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their needs. So, if we are being unsustainable then we are not doing that.

Hope this makes sense and I hope it helps! :)

The population is getting bigger every minute. We use a lot of electricity. Oil and Coal are one of the big ones that are examples. We uses billions of it each year. After a certain amount of time around 2088, there won't be a lot let because we aren't thinking of conserving it .

How do latitude and altitude affect which plants grow in an area?
vladimir2022 [97]
<span>They are both important. Latitude, the lines that parallel the equator are very important in determining plant growth rates and which plants can even exist because latitude is strongly related to average temperature. Altitude acts like latitude only over a shorter scale, so an increase in altitude of 1,000 ft may act like a latitude change of 3-4 degrees pole-ward. Longitude, that series of lines, perpendicular to the equator is also important, and is more related to water supply in the form of precipitation, so it would surely influence the kind of plants present - like desert plants versus rain forest types. Environments that are warm and with more rainfall generally will support more plant growth than those that are cold with little rainfall.</span>

Suppose that you are in charge of designing a fracking job site. Which of these locations would be most ideal for the site?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

B. On a flat, vacant plot in the outskirts of the city

Explanation:

Fracking, also known as hydraulic fracturing is a drilling method used in the oil and gas industry of most countries. It is the process whereby natural gas and petroleum is extracted from deep down the Earth. A crack is made in the rock layers, followed by the injection of a liquid called fracking liquid, which is usually water, at a very high pressure.

The process of fracking has serious environmental side effects e.g. release of harmful gases, noise pollution, water contamination etc. and hence, when choosing a fracking site, environment's sustainability and safety of people should be taken into account. This is why a fracking site cannot be designed in a residential city or around a neighborhood. The site should rather be designed in a location where it would pose a minimal environmental threat to the people e.g flat, vacant plot in the outskirts of the city
