How do fossils turn into oil?
fossil fuels r like decayed plants and animals (so FOSSILS) from 100 million years ago. they get turned into coal and oil and then drilled out.
What is the source of carbon dioxide in fossil fuels?
The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas in power plants, automobiles, industrial facilities and other sources.A number of specialized industrial production processes and product uses such as mineral production, metal production and the use of petroleum-based products can also lead to CO2 emissions.Carbon sequestration is the process by which growing trees and plants absorb or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and turn it into biomass (e.g., wood, leaves, etc.). Deforestation, conversely, can lead to significant levels of CO2 emissions in some countries.Carbon dioxide can be captured from power plants and industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere, and then injected deep underground.The figure below displays a breakdown of sources of CO2 emissions in the U.S. in 2006. By far the largest source is fossil fuel combustion:
Can burning fossil fuels generate electricity?
Yes, well sort of. Burning fossil fuels is the first step. These fuels heat water and turn it into steam. The steam will drive the turbines. In some cases, turbines are driven by the products of combustion of natural gas instead of steam. The rotating turbines create electricity. See related link.Fossil fuels are things like coal, natural gas, and oil. In most countries, they are used to generate much of the electricity.
Could a human head turn into a cast fossil over time?
Im guessing it probaly could. Over hundreds of yoers if the person is dead.
What do dead leaves and plants on the ground form?
They turn into the soil they become part of the ground.
What would turn into oil fossil fuels?
Dead plants turned into oil :) hope this helped.
What are fossil fuels and how do you get them?
Fossil fuels are dead animals and plants rotted into the ground and turn into turf and the like. That is what your turf is made of. It take millions of years for a bog to grow so thaqts why we have to be careful we dont use it all.
Did vascular plants form fossil fuels?
Yes, fossil fuels were formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals, including vascular plants. Over millions of years, the decaying organic matter from these plants got buried under layers of sediment and transformed into coal, oil, and natural gas through processes like heat and pressure.
What was temperature hot very hot or cold to turn animals and plants into fossil fuels?
umm yes
What 2 forces can turn fossils into fossil fuels?
The two forces that can turn fossils into fossil fuels are heat and pressure. Over millions of years, the remains of plants and animals buried underground are subjected to high temperatures and pressures, causing them to transform into fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
Are potatoes fossil fuels?
The potatoes are not the fossil fuels.But they can turn into fossil fuels once buried in soil for million years.
How can geothermal energy be used to replace fossil fuels?
Geothermal energy can be used to generate electricity by tapping into the Earth's heat through geothermal power plants. These plants use the steam and hot water from underground sources to turn turbines and produce electricity without the need for fossil fuels. It is a renewable and sustainable energy source that can help reduce our dependence on fossil fuels for electricity generation.
Why do power plants burn fossil fuels?
Power plants like Thermal Power Plant burn fossil fuels to heat water and then water turn into steam that creates enough pressure to run the turbines.Turbines rotate and electricity is formed.
What conditions dd it take to turn plants and animals into fossil fuels?
1. high temperature 2. pressure 3. decomposers
What are fossils also list examples?
anything that is obtained by the waste or decayed material of plants and animals is a fossil fuel.even the decayed plants and animals are fossil fuels themselves.example-the coal obtained by the decays of plants of densed forest copressed under high temperature and high pressure.one ore exaple of fossil fuel is the petrol which is obtained by the dead matter of aquatic species that turn into the fossil fuel under high temperature and high pressure
How do fossil fuels make electicity?
the burning of fossil fuels creates thermal energy, which in this case is on the from of steam, which then in turn rotates a turbine
What do power plants use to turn a generator?
Steam, created by heating water through the burning of fossil fuels or through nuclear reactions.
