Why are fossil fuels considered non-renewable resources if they are still forming beneath the surface today?

• They are being formed as a type of methane which we cannot use.

• They are being formed too far beneath the surface.

• We are depleting the fossil fuels much faster than they can form.

One ADVANTAGE of using fossil fuels is that:

• They are better for the environment.

• They can produce extremely high amounts of energy.

• They contribute to the greenhouse effect.

• They will never run out.
