  • Fossil Fuels: The Nonrenewable Energy Source from Ancient Life
    The nonrenewable energy source that comes from dead organisms is fossil fuels.

    Here's why:

    * Fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) are formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient plants and animals.

    * These organisms died and were buried under layers of sediment, where heat and pressure transformed them into hydrocarbons.

    * Because they are formed over such long periods, fossil fuels are considered nonrenewable resources.
