Question

Which of the following is not an effect of our growing population’s use of fossil fuels? A. The distribution of these resources is changing. B. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing. C. The resources are now being replaced faster than they are being used. D. Political conflicts occur over control of these resources.

Answer 1

C. The resources are now being replaced faster than they are being used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fossil fuels are fuels formed when organic materials decay anaerobically under pressure beneath the earth surface. Examples of fossil fuels include natural gas and crude oil.

These energy resources are non renewable. This means that they can not be replaced once they are depleted.

All around the world, there is a massive and unsustainable exploration of fossil fuels for the purpose of energy supply. These resources are now being depleted faster than they can be replaced thereby leading to the threat of energy shortage globally if alternative energy sources are not explored and developed.
