How does energy become stored in a fossil fuel what kind ofenergy is stored?
Fossil fuels store energy through a process called photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight into chemical energy through the absorption of carbon dioxide and water. Over millions of years, this stored energy becomes trapped in the Earth's crust and is transformed into fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. The primary form of energy stored in fossil fuels is chemical energy.
How is solar energy trapped into fuels?
Plants use the energy from sunlight to convert Carbon dioxide and Water into sugars which they then store as starch. When plants die some of them are preserved over a long period of time as fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. These fossil fuels still contain the stored sunlight energy which was originally trapped by the plants millions of years ago.
What is the origin of non-renewable energy sources including how energy can be trapped in these sources?
Non-renewable energy sources like fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) are formed over millions of years from decayed organic matter trapped in the Earth's crust. The energy in these sources comes from the sun's energy, which plants absorbed through photosynthesis and then converted into chemical energy. This stored energy is released when the fossil fuels are burned for heating, electricity generation, and transportation.
What fossil fuel is trapped underground?
Oil, natural gas, and coal are all fossil fuels that can be trapped underground in reservoirs formed over millions of years. These fossil fuels are extracted through drilling or mining processes for energy production.
How do you think that energy got into the fuels in the first place?
Energy in fuels originally comes from the sun. Through photosynthesis, plants convert solar energy into chemical energy stored in the form of carbon compounds. When these plants and organic matter decay and are buried over millions of years, the energy is trapped and concentrated in fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
How does carbon move from being trapped in fossil fuels to the atmosphere?
When fossil fuels are burned for energy, carbon that was stored in them is released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide contributes to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Why have fossil fuels become your primary energy resource?
Fossil fuels became the primary energy resource due to their abundance, cost-effectiveness, and established infrastructure for extraction and distribution. They have been widely used for their high energy density and convenience in powering various industrial processes and transportation.
Fossil fuels is what energy?
the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
Is kinetic energy stored by fossil fuels?
No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.
What energy is in food anf fuels?
chemical energy is in foods and fuels
Impotance of fuels?
importance of fuels in generating energy/fuels are energy sources that formed from the remains of living organisma..
What form of energy do fuels contain?
Fossil fuels contain chemical energy.
