by the food it eats like plants that contain the suns rays from photosynthisis :)
Nuclear energy does not come from fossil fuels
Fossil fuels come from plants and microscopic organisms, which long ago died and were buried in the earth and slowly transformed into coal, oil, and gas. These plants and microorganisms once, millions of years ago, got their energy from the sun. Thus, all fossil fuels received some solar energy.
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.
Fossil fuels contain chemical energy.
Fossil fuels contain energy that originally came from the sun.
potential
Fossil fuels are energy rich because they contain carbon. The carbon is broken down to create oil for human uses.
Chemical Energy
the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
Fossil fuels contain the chemical energy that plants and algae obtained from sunlight and then stored in sugars. Just as energy chemical energy is stored in sugars, chemical energy is stored in fossil fuels. All it takes to release it is enough heat and oxygen to cause the fuel to burn.
No, not kinetic energy.
Yes, it is. Because coal and fuel(oil) are both fossil fuels and contain stored chemical energy that needs no further treatment to produce thermal energy as they burn. So fossil fuel is a form of chemical energy.
No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.
