organic
Diesel fuel, like all combustible fuels, is considered organic. It is a mixture of several different lengths of hydrocarbons along with some additives for engine protection and fuel stabilization.

Fossil fuels are organic in nature, as they are derived from the decomposition of organic matter such as plants and animals over millions of years. This organic matter undergoes heat and pressure to eventually form fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.

- This can become a fossil fuel if it is compressed under the earth for 300 million years.
- It can be a source of renewable energy if it is used as biomass, that is, burned to generate electricity.

Yes since it is carbon based.

Why coal petroleum and natural gas are called fossil fuels?
Because of their organic origin
Are living things inorganic or organic?
they are both organic and inorganic
Is C2H6S organic or inorganic?
it is organic
Are cans inorganic or organic?
could be inorganic or organic
An energy-rich substance formed from the remains of organisms is?
Fossil Fuels =)
What isn't fossil fuels?
The inorganic/organic fuels that are used as propellent in rockets.
What isn't fossil fuel?
The inorganic/organic fuels that are used as propellent in rockets.
Is a fossil an inorganic solid with a crystalline structure?
fossil is organic
What is the difference between mineral fuel and fossil fuel?
fossil fuels are remains of dead plants and animals whereas minerals are all inorganic and organic substances extracted from earth by minning
Are fossil fuels minerals?
No, they are organic compounds.
Why are fossil fuels not considered to be minerals?
Fossil fuels are derived from organic matter, making them distinct from minerals, which are naturally occurring inorganic substances. While both fossil fuels and minerals are extracted from the Earth, the distinction lies in their composition and origin. Minerals are crystalline solids with a specific chemical structure, whereas fossil fuels are hydrocarbons formed from decayed organic material.
Why is dead organic matter important to the carbon- oxygen cycle?
Because fossil fuels are produced from dead organic matter. Then the fossil fuels are burnt, and they release carbon.
Are fossil fuels formed naturally and quickly?
Fossil fuels are formed naturally, yes, from crushed and pressurised organic matter.Fossil fuels are not formed quickly; they take millions of years to develop.
What is a leading theory for the formation of fossil fuels?
Organic matter was compressed and heated
Fossil fuels are organic compounds that are made from?
Fossil fuels are organic compounds made from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. These organic materials were subjected to high pressure and heat over time, transforming into coal, oil, and natural gas.
Leading theory for the formation of fossil fuels?
Organic matter was compressed and heated
How did the carbon in fossil fuels get there?
The carbon in fossil fuels comes from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. These organic materials were buried and subjected to heat and pressure over time, transforming into coal, oil, and natural gas through a process called fossilization.
