A

primarily radioactive water

32
Q

a group of energy sources that were formed from ancient plants and organisms during the Carboniferous period

A

Fossil fuel

33
Q

Different types of fossil fuels form depending on the combination of

organic matter
temperature
time
pressure condition

34
Q

three types of fossil fuels

A

coal
oil
natural gas

35
Q

[fossil fuel] formed from plants and trees which hardened due to pressure and heat

36
Q

[fossil fuel] was formed from small organisms where pressure caused the more complex organic matter to decompose

A

Natural gas

38
Q

worlds dominant energy source

A

fossil fuels

39
Q

why are nonrenewable resources called “nonrenewable” ?
