10th Science hots question
Solution :
Coal and petroleum have been produced from large amounts of biomass entrapped inside the earth under high temperature, pressure and anaerobic conditions. Such a situation develops only rarely like big upheavals on earth. At present no more coal or petroleum is being formed. All that is available has been formed millions of years ago. Being rich source of energy, coal and petroleum are being consumed in ever increasing amount in industry, transport, kitchens, etc. If the trend continues, soon they will be exhausted. Therefore, they must be conserved by developing more efficient machines, hybrid engines and using hydrogen as a fuel.
