Q. Statement I : Fossil fuels are renewable source of energy.
Statement II: Renewable sources are collected from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat.

1. Both statement I and statement II are correct.
2. Both statement I and statement II are wrong.
3. Only statement I is correct.
4. Only statement II is correct.

Q. Fossil fuels are formed from:

1. Volcanic eruptions
2. Remains of dead living organisms
3. Burning of wood
4. Underground water

Q.

We know that fossil fuels are formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years. Since fossil fuels cannot be replenished by natural means at the same rate that it is consumed that’s why they are known as non-renewable sources of energy.

1. False
2. True

Q. Which of the following are non-renewable source of energy:

1. Crude oil
2. Coal
3. Natural gas
4. None of these

Q. Which of the following are fossil fuels:

1. Crude oil
2. Coal
3. Natural gas
4. None of these

Q. What are the possible harmful effects of fossil fuels?

1. All of the above
2. Smoke produced from burning of fossil fuels is a major source of pollution.
3. Carbon dioxide produced from burning of fossil fuels causes greenhouse effect which in turn contributes to global warming.
4. Fossil fuels are difficult to find and many accidents happen in the process of obtaining coal from coal mines.
