- Inexhaustible resources are not depleted by human activities, an example being solar energy.
Formation of Fossil Fuels
- Coal is formed from the dead remains of plants and animals and takes millions of years to form.
- Coal formation started during the Carboniferous age.
Coal Formation Process
- Trees that fell down in wet areas got buried and converted into coal.
- The conversion of trees into coal was caused by heat, pressure, and lack of oxygen.
- The slow conversion of wood into coal is called metamorphosis.
