Survivorship curve = so, first of all, it's a curve, as in a graph.

It describes "survivorship" - the rate of survival, in other words: out of 100 organisms that are born, how many survive. This rate is different among species, for example, most humans live out to most of their life span, and almost all can survive well beyond a reproductive age.

However, in frogs for example, many many individuals are born, but only few can survive to adulthood: most die very young, before reproductive age.

So if you hear about a new species: let's say dogs, and you want to know how long they would live, you would look at their sirvivorship curve (and in some breeds of dogs, those that are likely not to be in shelters, but in homes, the survivorship curve would be similar as in humans: almost all individuals born can live long.

Fossil fuels, which include petroleum, coal, natural gas etc are an example of non-renewable sources of energy. They are termed non-renewable because they are sources that gets exhausted quickly without replenishment.

One of the characteristics of non-renewable sources of energy is that they get exhausted faster than they can be produced. Hence, regarding fossil fuels as an example of non-renewable source of energy, this means that the amount of fossil fuels formed is much less than the amount used.
