What is solid fossil fuel formed from plant remains?
Different fossil fuels are derived from different sources. The fossil fuels which are formed from the remains of marine plants and animals are crude oil and natural gas.
When did abundant fossil evidence appear in the geologic record?
540 Million years ago
If fossil fuels are still forming why are they considered to be a nonrenewable resource?
Well, they are technically still forming, but fossil fuels form over millions of years. We call it non-renewable because there is no way for us to form more of it ourselves in our lifetimes. If we use it all up, it is gone, and we won't be alive when another big supply of it would be available.
Abundant fossil evidence did not appear in the geologic record until about?
Geologic records evidence of abundant fossil is 540 Million Years ago during the Paleozoic Era.
What type of fuel forms from the dead organisms acted on by temperature and pressure of the earth over 1 million years ago?
Only a million ? Then you might get peat.
