III. Read a passage about fossil fuels. Decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F).
Circle T or F.
There are three major forms of fossil fuels: coal, oil and natural gas. All three were
formed many hundreds of millions of years ago before the time of the dinosaurs – therefore
we call them fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels take millions of years to make. But they are not unlimited. We are using up
the fuels that were made more than 300 million years ago. They are not renewable like solar
power, wind power, hydro power or biomass. Once they are gone they are gone. So, it’s best
not to waste fossil fuels.
We can save fossil fuels by conserving energy. One simple way to do this is to turn off
appliances, TVs and radios that we are not using. We can also turn off lights when no one is
in the room. Another way is to go by bike or walk instead of driving cars or motorbikes.

1. Three major forms of fossil fuels are oil, coal and natural gas. T F
2. They were formed right after the time of dinosaurs. T F

4. Hydro power and biomass are non-renewable sources. T F
