2. Do you agree with the statement? 1 A renewable resource is one that cannot be replaced. Yes No

3. Do you agree with the statement? 2 Fossil fuels are used to produce energy. Yes No

4. Do you agree with the statement? 3 Natural gas supplies us with gasoline and diesel fuel. Yes No

5. Do you agree with the statement? 4 When oil and coal are burned, toxins are released into the air. Yes No

6. Types of Resources A resourcecan be used for materials or energy. A 
renewable resourcecan be replaced. For example, trees are a renewable resource. Nonrenewableresourcescan never be replaced, like 
coal which comes from plants. Layers of dead plants can build up and form a 
material called peat. In time, peat gets buried and 
slowly changes into soft coal, then hard coal. Coal is a fuel and it can be burned to make heat or 
energy used in most power plants. The energy in coal 
was once sunlight energy that plants used. Petroleum and natural gas are also fuels but they did 
not begin as plants, they began as small sea 
organisms. So, crude oil and natural gas are called 
fossil fuels. First paragraph pg. 303

7. Oil and Natural Gases Drills make deep holes in Earth’s surface to 
find oil, which can be on land or under the ocean 
floor. Natural gas is often found near crude oil 
and can be pumped into pipelines that carry it to 
tanks until it is needed. Crude oil can be used to make gasoline and 
other fuels that run machines like cars, trucks, 
tractors, trains, and ships. Also, some power 
plants burn fuel to make electricity. Crude oil can be used to make other products 
like asphalt, plastic, grease, and wax. Second paragraph pg. 304

8. Advantages and Disadvantages Some advantages are that coal and oil are easy to 
store and move, large amounts of energy come from 
fossil fuels and it is harder to get the same amount of 
energy from other energy sources. Some disadvantages are that the supply of fossil 
fuels is limited, burning coal and oil also causes air 
pollution and water pollution. Plants and animals are 
harmed when oil spills into water. Careful planning can help people use fossil fuels 
wisely. Fossil Fuels
