sort of. Oil comes from old trees and plant life. We only have a thousand years or so of this oil left and it takes a long time to replenish.

An energy-rich substance formed from the remains of organisms is?
Fossil Fuels =)
How do fossils turn into oil?
fossil fuels r like decayed plants and animals (so FOSSILS) from 100 million years ago. they get turned into coal and oil and then drilled out.
What fuels are fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are the remains of decomposition of buried dead organisms under pressure. The common fossil fuels are oil , gas and coal.
What chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels?
Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
What material is formed from the decay of ancient organisms and is used today as a source of energy?
Fossil fuels like coal and oil.
What are nonrenewable resources made from decayed plants?
fossil fuels
Where are fossil fuels normally found?
They are found in decayed organisms.
What happened to organisms that led to the formation of fossil fuels?
they decayed
How fossil fuels form?
Decayed organisms are compresed underground
What can the energy from fossil fuels be traced back to?
decayed organisms
What is fuel biologically speaking?
fuel is the decayed remains of plant and animal matter after thousands of years. hence the name: fossil fuels.
How is energy produce d from fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels (hence the name) are natural fuels that come from decayed bodies (humus or fossils) in the earth.
Are there fuels which are not fossils fuels?
Yes! There are because fossil fuel have to be made up of decayed animal or plant parts. Some are not because they are naturally made differently. Others, are forged so, they are TECHNICALLY not real fossil fuels, though, some may consider them...
What developed fossil fuels?
Ancient plants that have decayed into liquid carbon, in a nutshell.
Are fossil fuels combustible material?
yes.. they are..
Fossil fuels formed over a long period of time because heat and pressure were applied to?
Organisms buried in the ground. Hope that helped! :P
What did the plants and animals look like before they turned into fossil fuel?
Fossil fuels come from decayed plants and animals. Oil typically comes from dead marine life. Coal comes from decaying plants. So, before they are transformed into fuels (which can take millions of years), the decaying organic material is likely to be brown. Of course, before they die, the plants and animal look just like they do today.
