Global energy use per year _____________ between 1965 and 2015.
Most of the energy that humans use comes from natural energy resources called fossil
fuels. Fossil fuels include coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
Which of the following statements explains why fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources?
The graph below shows the global use of fossil fuels and other energy resources every year from 1965 to 2015.
Select the statement that is supported by the data.
The average amount of energy used by each person is called per capita energy
use.
To calculate per capita energy use, divide energy use by the population. Per capita energy use can increase or decrease depending on how energy use and population change:
Per capita energy use increases when energy use increases faster than the population. This can happen when technologies that use energy, such as cars and electronic devices, become more common.
Per capita energy use decreases when the population increases faster than energy use, usually because people use less energy to do the same activities.
