What material is compressed underground to form fossil fuels?
Dead plants and animals
Is rocket fuel a fossil fuel?
Yes it is a fossil fuel.
Do power plants burn fossil fuels?
Some power plants do. Any plant that burns oil, coal, or gas from underground resources could be considered a "fossil fuel" plant. There are however nuclear, solar, hydro-electric and wind powered power plants.
Is oil a fossil fuel?
Oil is formed by the decomposition of fossilized plant and animal remains. This is why it is referred to as a fossil fuel. Other fossil fuels include coal and natural gas.
How can fossil fuel be renewed?
It maybe be possible through science to rebuild fossil fuel underground through compression of synthetic hydrocarbons deep under the earth's surface. This would be a massive costly undertaking but it could provide longevity to their use.
What is location of fossil fuel?
They are generally found underground
What is a fossil fuel that is like methane and forms in pockets underground?
Natural gas is a fossil fuel consisting largely of methane (CH4).
What material is compressed underground to form fossil fuels?
Dead plants and animals
A Fossil fuel that reaches your homes through underground pipes?
gas
A fossil fuel pumped through underground pipes?
Oil or natural gas
Can you get fossil fuels by growing crops?
No, it takes thousands to many millions of years of burial underground for organic material to transform into a fossil fuel form. You can use some crops (e.g. oil seeds) to replace some fossil fuel, but they are not fossil fuel.
Is helium a fossil fuel?
No, the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) have been underground for hundreds of millions of years. The only gas that is a fossil fuel, natural gas, is mostly methane (CH4).
Solid fossil fuel found underground often used to produce electricity?
Coal
What is a fossil fuel that forms underground from partially decomposed plant material is?
natural gas
What is oil referred to?
Oil is commonly referred to as liquid petroleum or crude oil. It is a fossil fuel formed from ancient organic matter trapped deep underground. Oil is a vital energy resource used for transportation, heating, and electricity generation.
Burning coal produces the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide is this a false statement about the use of coal?
No, this is true. Coal is a fossil fuel which holds carbon which has been trapped underground for millions of years. When it is burnt the carbon dioxide is released where it adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Is rocket fuel a fossil fuel?
Yes it is a fossil fuel.
