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.
Why have fossil fuels become your primary energy resource?
Fossil fuels have become a primary energy resource because it is easy to use, not as expensive, and easily found normally. Also people have been so accustomed to using fossil fuels.
How is energy stored in fuels?
The energy in fuels is chemical energy - a type of potential energy.
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
Burning fuels which energy converted into heat energy?
Burning fuels, chemical energy is converted to heat energy
The energy stored in foods and fuels is potential energy?
the energy stored in foods and fuels is blank potential energy?
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.
How did the solar energy get stored in the fossil fuels?
When the trees and vegetation were growing they took in solar energy through photosynthesis. This energy was stored in the plants as hydrocarbons. It remains there as the plants, over millions of years, become fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
A special from of potential energy stored in fuels?
Chemical energy - this includes the energy stored in fuels - is a type of potential energy.
