Question

why are fossil fuels considered to be non - renewable even though they can be made again over time? they cannot be made ever again. they wont be made from the same material. it takes a very long time to make fossil fuels.

Explanation:

Non - renewable resources are those that cannot be replenished in a short period. Fossil fuels are formed from the remains of plants and animals that died millions of years ago. The process of their formation (such as the transformation of organic matter under high pressure and temperature over geological time scales) takes an extremely long time (millions of years). In contrast, the rate at which we consume fossil fuels is much faster than the rate at which they can be formed. So, even though they can be made again over time (in a geological sense), the time frame for their regeneration is not practical for human use.

Answer:

It takes a very long time to make fossil fuels.
