There are 3 major forms of fossil fuel. Coal which is a sedimentary rock that is used as a human resource for consumption, Oil which is a liquid substance that does not mix with what but may mix with other organic solvents and Natural Gas lighter than air and highly flammable.

Good Fossil fuels are immensely popular for their high calorific value, which means burning 1 gm of fossil fuel produces abundant energy. Thus, they are considered to be high efficient. Fossil fuels are highly stable in nature compared to other fuels. Fossil fuels are cheaper than non- conventional forms of energy, as it is easy to extract and process them. Transportation of liquid or gaseous fossil fuels is very easy. Fossil fuels are tried and tested, so there is a huge potential for sustainable development. Although fossil fuels like oil and natural gas are available in abundance, their over exploitation has resulted in their substantial depletion. Fossil fuels are the largest emitters of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane which are negatively impacting the ozone layer, a protective cover above the earth that is essential for the survival of all species. Fossil fuels also emit harmful gases like carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide which produce acid rain. Formation of fossil fuels takes millions of years. Bad

A non-renewable resource is a natural resource which cannot be reproduced, grown, generated. We are using fuels made from about 300 million years ago and when they are gone there wont be no more. It’s good that that we don’t waste fossil fuels because we can’t make them again so we save them by finding new renewable resources.
