Question
choose the correct answer. 92% of energy in the united states is produced from fossil fuels that we are using faster than they can be replaced. what term can we use to describe fossil fuels? depletable non - depletable
Depletable resources are those that are used faster than they can be replenished. Fossil fuels, like coal, oil, and natural gas, take millions of years to form. Since we're using them at a rate that outpaces their replacement, they fit the definition of depletable resources. Non - depletable resources, on the other hand, are either in infinite supply (like solar or wind energy) or can be replenished quickly.
