nothing realy. to make electricity they boil coal to heat water into steam.they push it out of a valve to spin a copper coil around a massive magnet to create electricity. hope i helped tomtamtimmy

∙ 15y agoFossil fuels contain hydrocarbons, which are compounds made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms. These hydrocarbons, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, are derived from ancient organic matter that has been buried and compressed over millions of years. When burned, fossil fuels release energy in the form of heat, which is used to generate electricity and power vehicles.
No, not all fossil fuels contain methane. Fossil fuels primarily consist of carbon and hydrogen, with varying amounts of other elements like sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen. Methane is mainly found in natural gas, which is a fossil fuel, but not all fossil fuels contain methane.
Coal, petroleum, and natural gas all contain hydrocarbons, which are organic compounds composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms. These hydrocarbons are the main components of fossil fuels, providing energy through combustion.
Gas, oil, and coal are fossil fuels.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas produced by burning fossil fuels that contains the element carbon. It is a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.
Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas burn because they contain chemical energy stored from ancient organic matter. When exposed to heat or a spark, the carbon and hydrogen in fossil fuels react with oxygen in the air, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. This process is known as combustion.
Fossil fuels contain chemical energy.
No, not all fossil fuels contain methane. Fossil fuels primarily consist of carbon and hydrogen, with varying amounts of other elements like sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen. Methane is mainly found in natural gas, which is a fossil fuel, but not all fossil fuels contain methane.
yes.

This question makes no sense ! Blue Whales feed on plankton - they don't contain fossil fuels !
When there is a combustion of fossil fuels acid rain occurs from sulfuric, carbonic, and nitric acid. Fossil fuels may contain radioactive materials.
Because they contain oil and coal things such as these.
Fossil fuels contain energy that originally came from the sun, which was absorbed by plants through photosynthesis millions of years ago. This energy is stored in the form of carbon compounds in fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. When these fuels are burned, they release this stored energy in the form of heat and light.
fossil fuels
Fossil fuels contain energy that originally came from the sun. Plants and other organisms that lived millions of years ago absorbed sunlight through photosynthesis and stored this energy in their tissues. Over time, this organic matter was buried and compressed, eventually forming fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
I'm trying to find out. hope this helps. O.
