I got 100% with those answers^

1. To determine the answer to question 1, you need to know the current rates of use of oil and natural gas and the known supplies of these resources. You can find this information by consulting reliable sources such as government agencies, energy organizations, or research reports. Look for data on global oil and natural gas reserves, as well as their annual production rates. By comparing the known supplies with the rates of use, you will be able to estimate the number of years it would take for these resources to run out.

2. To determine the answer to question 2, you need to compare the oil consumption and production of different countries. Again, reliable sources such as energy databases or reports from international organizations can provide this information. Look for data on the oil production and consumption of each country and compare the numbers. The country that consumes more oil than it produces will be the answer to this question.

3. To answer question 3, you need to understand the definitions of the given options. Renewable resources are those that can be naturally replenished within a relatively short period of time, such as solar or wind energy. Second-level products refer to goods produced from primary resources, such as wood being used to make furniture. Nonrenewable resources, on the other hand, are finite and cannot be replenished in a short time frame, such as minerals or fossil fuels. Synthetic materials are human-made products. Based on these definitions, you can conclude which option correctly describes minerals, coal, and natural gases.

4. To answer question 4, you need to understand the nature of resources created from the remains of prehistoric plants and animals. These resources are known as fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. They were formed over millions of years and are considered nonrenewable because their formation process is extremely slow compared to the rate at which they are being consumed.

5. To answer question 5, you need to consider the current and future energy needs and the available energy sources. While fossil fuels have been the primary energy source for a long time, their negative environmental impact and finite nature have led to the development of alternative sources of energy. Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power, have gained traction and are being further developed to meet future energy needs. This option correctly reflects the ongoing efforts to transition towards renewable forms of energy.
