Which of the following is a characteristic of peat as a fuel source?

• It is made by heating wood under low oxygen conditions

• It is the most valuable form of coal

• It is partially, decomposed organic matter from ferns or other plants found in wet, acidic ecosystems like bogs and moors

• It is a liquid fossil fuel

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.

What is one DISADVANTAGE of using fossil fuels?

• Fossil fuels will never run out.

• Fossil fuels are very efficient forms of energy and are readily available, making them cheaper.

• Burning fossil fuels contributes to the greenhouse effect which causes global warming.

• Fossil fuels are better for the environment.

What are renewable energy sources?

• Renewable energy sources are sources of energy that are expensive and inefficient.

• Renewable energy sources are sources of energy that are harmful to the environment.

• Renewable energy sources are sources of energy that can be replenished naturally and are not depleted when used.

• Renewable energy sources are sources of energy that are only available in limited quantities.
