(e) Kerosene is not a fossil fuel. (F)
Question: 6. Explain why fossil
fuels are exhaustible natural resources.
Answer:

this, fossil fuels are exhaustible in nature.
Question: 7. Describe
characteristics and uses of coke.
Answer:
Coke is a type of coal. It is a tough, porous and black substance. It is almost
pure form of carbon. Coke burns much cleaner than coal and provides more energy
for comparable mass. It is used in manufacture of steel and in extraction of
many minerals.
Question: 8. Explain the process of
formation of petroleum.
Answer:
The organisms which lived in the sea got buried at the bottom of oceans. Over a
period of time, their dead bodies were covered with sediments. Intense pressure
and heat under the earth’s layers transformed these organisms into petroleum.
Question: 9. The following Table
shows the total power shortage in India from 1991– 1997. Show the data in the
