What is a non-timber forest product? What is quenching in metallurgy? What is the specific heat of aluminum? What is a rapidly renewable resource? What materials are inselbergs made out of? What is feedstock cultivation? What is asterism in minerals?
They are a non-renewable resource, i.e., once used they cannot be replaced. Combustion of fossil fuels makes the environment more acidic. This has led to unpredictable and negative changes in the environment. Harvesting of fossil fuels also causes fatal ...
