How are fossil fuels converted into usable energy?

All fossil fuels have to be removed from underground:coal - dug outoil - drilled down to then pumped up from undergroundnatural gas - collected into wells that are cappedfracked gas - fracked from within rocks underground and extracted to the surfaceAll fossil fuels must be heated and burned to release usable energy.


Which type of energy is stored in fossil fuels?

Chemical energy is stored in fossil fuels, resulting from the organic matter that underwent decomposition over millions of years. This energy is released when the fossil fuels are burned or combusted.


Explain why some fuels are fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels are made from the remains of ancient organisms like plants and animals that have been buried for millions of years. This organic matter gets transformed into fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas through heat and pressure underground. Their formation process over such a long timescale is what makes them known as fossil fuels.


How does solar energy reduce the use of fossil fuels?

Most countries burn fossil fuels to generate electricity.If they used solar power to generate electricity, thenThey would not have to use so much fossil fuel.Solar Energy itself does not reduce the use of fossil fuels. But the use of solar energy should hopefully reduce the need of fossil fuels to create energy, so therefore the more we can use solar power as an energy source instead of fossil fuels, the more we reduce the use of fossil fuels.


What is the same between wind power and fossil fuel?

Both wind power and fossil fuels are used to generate electricity. Additionally, they both have the potential to impact the environment, although wind power is considered cleaner and more sustainable compared to fossil fuels.
