What Are are fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels are the remains of decomposition of buried dead organisms under pressure. The common fossil fuels are oil , gas and coal.


Is carbon dioxide released by fossil fuel formation?

No, formation of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.Burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide.


Does pressure have to do anything with fossil fuels?

Yes, pressure is a factor in the formation of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).


Explain why some fuels are fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels are made from the remains of ancient organisms like plants and animals that have been buried for millions of years. This organic matter gets transformed into fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas through heat and pressure underground. Their formation process over such a long timescale is what makes them known as fossil fuels.


What are fossil fuels from the remains of what?

dead organisms


Where are fossil fuels normally found?

They are found in decayed organisms.


What can the energy from fossil fuels be traced back to?

How do organisms use fossil fuels?

1. Organisms don't use fossil fuels; they make them. After they decompose, they eventually turn into fossil fuels. (oil) (if this wasn't the answer, then here is another answer.) 2. If organism meant humans, then we use fossil fuels for lots of things. For example: Plastic Gas Oil to heat homes (et cetera) I hope this helps!! :)


What does fossil fuels mean and use it in a sentence?

Fossil fuels are natural fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas that are formed from the remains of living organisms over millions of years. Sentence: The burning of fossil fuels for energy production is a major contributor to global warming.


Which is not a factor in the formation of a fossil fuels?

Temperature and pressure are not factors in the formation of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are formed from organic matter, such as ancient plants and animals, that is buried under layers of sediment and undergoes chemical changes over millions of years to become coal, oil, or natural gas.


Is pressure a factor of a fossil fuel?

Pressure is not a factor in the formation of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are primarily formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that were buried under sedimentary layers over millions of years. The heat and compression from these layers transform the organic material into fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
