Question

1. true or false: some of the fertilizers we use to grow food are made from crude oil / fossil fuels

a) true
b) false

Explanation:

Fertilizers like nitrogen - based fertilizers (e.g., urea) are often produced using natural gas (a fossil fuel). The Haber - Bosch process, which is used to produce ammonia (a key component in many fertilizers), requires a large amount of energy. Natural gas is a common feedstock for hydrogen production in this process. Crude oil can also be used in some aspects of the fertilizer production chain, for example, in the transportation of raw materials and in the operation of manufacturing plants.

Answer:

A. True
