Are fossils renewable or non renewable?

Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources.

Fossil fuels are coal, oil, natural gas, and other non-renewable fuel resources that are buried underground and under the ocean. Fossil fuels are classified into coal, oil, oil shale, natural gas, oil sands, and combustible ice under the sea in order of the amount of energy buried.

As suggested by the conceptual principles of supply and demand, when fossil fuels fall, they rise. Therefore, when fossil fuels** are high, there will be more energy selectivity, and renewable energy, which was generally considered uneconomical, will become one of the more economically viable energy sources.

At present, although the cost and processing technology of artificial gasoline and other renewable energy sources are more complex than ordinary oil production, the economic benefits in the future will be higher than that of ordinary oil production.

Fossil fuel cons:

1. Fossil fuels are non-renewable fuels, and there is a limited amount of them in the earth's crust. It will run out soon. Fossil fuels contain sulphur, which produces toxic sulphur dioxide when burned, and also causes acid rain and damages the ecological balance.

Burning fossil fuels also produces carbon particles, which pollute the air and cause respiratory diseases.

2. Fossil fuels include coal, natural gas, oil, and shale gasoline. It is formed by the decay of plants and animals in prehistoric times and deposited over millions of years. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, the most greenhouse gas caused by human activity.

Fossils are non-renewable resources;

In the long geological time, there have been countless creatures living on the earth, and many of the remains of these creatures after death or traces left over from life were buried by the sediment of the time. The organic matter in the remains of these organisms is decomposed, and the hard parts such as shells, bones, branches and leaves, etc., are petrified and turned into stone along with the surrounding sediment, but their original form and structure are still retained.

Evolutionary process. It is known that ash from nearby volcanoes once covered the entire forest, and among the forest fossils, there are still standing trees that have been preserved in good condition. Quicksand and tar bitumen can also quickly bury animals.

Tar asphalt behaves like a trap to catch a wild animal, and like a preservative that stops the hard parts of the animal from decomposing.

The Rancho Labrea asphalt lake in Los Angeles is famous for the fossilized bones found in it, including wild boars with sharp teeth, giant land sloths and other extinct animals. The remains of some animals that survived the ice age were frozen in ice or frozen soil, and apparently some of the frozen animals could have been preserved.

Fossils are non-renewable resources;

Animal fossils include "fleshy fossils" and "bone fossils". Due to glacial movements, crustal changes and other reasons, the earth's organisms were quickly buried underground, and after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, the biological hardware part was preserved.

However, the possibility of the evolution of the fleshy soft tissues (including ears and internal organs) into fossils is very small, and it is easy to be corroded and dissolved by microorganisms in the natural environment, so it is difficult to form solid flesh fossils. The "ear" fossil discovered by scholar Huang Jinxiang makes us clearly understand that there are indeed "meat fossils" on the earth, which is a major discovery in the history of human natural science.

The role of carbonization in fossil formation.

Organisms are composed of organic matter, in which the elements of H, O and N volatilize and escape under the temperature and pressure conditions of diagenesis and distillation, while the carbon elements remain and are preserved as a relatively stable carbonaceous film. The chemical composition of these carbonaceous films is already very different from that of the original organic matter.

Carbonization is also limited, organisms with cuticles, fibrous and chitin films, such as plants, pen stones, insects, etc., are more likely to be preserved as fossils through carbonization. Soft bodies such as internal organs and muscles of animals are susceptible to oxidation and corrosion, making it difficult to preserve them as fossils. Coal is actually a fossilized carbonization of ancient plants.

Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources. Fossil fuels are coal, oil, natural gas, and other non-renewable fuel resources that are buried in the ground and ocean. Fossil fuels are divided into coal, oil, oil shale, natural gas, oil sands, and combustible ice under the sea in order of the amount of energy buried.

Fossil energy is the most important energy consumed in the world, and in 2006, the proportion of fossil energy in the global energy consumption was as high, and the proportion of China was as high. However, with the continuous exploitation of human beings, the depletion of fossil energy is inevitable, and most of the fossil energy will be exhausted this century. On the other hand, the use of fossil energy by demoulding will add a large amount of greenhouse gas CO2, and at the same time, some polluting flue gas may be generated, threatening the global ecology.

Therefore, the development of cleaner renewable energy is the way forward.

From a global perspective, for a long time to come, fossil fuels such as coal and oil will still be the main body of energy, and China is no exception. China coordinates the development and utilization of fossil fuels and environmental protection, accelerates the construction of advanced production capacity, eliminates outdated production capacity, vigorously promotes the clean development of fossil fuels, protects the ecological environment, responds to climate change, and achieves energy conservation and emission reduction.
