Afuel is a material that releases energy when it burns. These fossil fuels---energy-rich substances ormed from the remains of organisms or as you might say; plants and animals.That was just a reminder for you,the real answer is right here:The potential chemical energy in fossil fuels and food was stored by plants that converted the sun's radiant energy into chemical energy. Now that was the real answer, oyur welcome,Tracey Nichole Gordon.

∙ 6y agoBurning one ton of fossil fuel produces around 3 tons of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases the greenhouse effect, because it allows the short-wavelength radiation from the Sun to pass through to heat the Earth's surface, while partially blocking heat that is radiated away at longer wavelengths - longer because the source is at a lower temperature. Thus the surface temperature rises.
The extreme greenhouse effect can be seen on on the planet Venus, which has a 93% carbon dioxide atmosphere, and the temperature is 400-500 degrees C (up to 1000 Fahrenheit).

∙ 13y agoFossil fuels are the primary source of energy today. The only other realistic source for real energy demands is Nuclear Power. Small amounts can be made through the construction of hydro and geo thermal, but the only real usable fuel due to laws against nuclear is fossil fuels.
We have a limited supply of this fuel. Oil is one example of a limited fossil fuel. The United States has roughly 400 years of oil left in the Green River Reserve. We have about half that in the North Dakota reserve. This is less then seven times the oil in the Middle East.
Fossil fuels are the only real source we have for the energy needs of today.
Fossil fuels are a form of chemical energy.

What is the difference between between fossil fuels and energy resources?
imnot 100% sure, but i think fossil fuels are from man made products and energy resources are natural products
What is all fossil fuels made of?
Fossil fuels are made up of compounds called hydrocarbons. Fossil fuels are fuels that come from natural resources, such as dead organisms.
How did the plants and animals get there energy when fossil fuels were made?
Due to heavy pressure and temperature of catastrophic upheavals
How do you rewrite this sentence to make it correct Fossil fuels are made from the fossils of dinosaurs?
Fossil fuels are not made from the fossils of dinosaurs.
What do all fossil fuels have in common?
They are all burned when used as energy sources (apex)
A type of potential energy that is made from fossil fuels?
chemical energy
What type of potential energy that is made of fossil fuels?
thermal energy
Forms of energy made from the remains of dead plants and small creatures is are called?
Fossil fuels are the forms of energy made from the remains of dead plants and small creatures. Examples of fossil fuels are coal and natural gas.
What is a kind of energy made by fossil fuels?
A non-renewable source of energy.
What energy is made out of fossil fuels?
It makes coal, oil, and gas.
What is the difference between between fossil fuels and energy resources?
imnot 100% sure, but i think fossil fuels are from man made products and energy resources are natural products
How did the energy get into fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are made from plant and vegetable matter that died millions of years ago. The plants and vegetables got their energy from the main energy source around here - our sun. Essentially, fossil fuels can be regarded as stored energy from the sun. We use/release that energy again by burning the fuel.
How can energy be made without burning fossil fuels?
well, you have renewable energy such as wind power, wave power etc... all this generates electricity without burning fossil fuels
Is all electricity made from fossil fuels?
no electricity is made from fossil fuels.
What is energy source that is made from the buried remains from plants and animals called?
fossil fuels
Where does the energy fossil fuel come from?
The sun. Fossil fuels are made up of plants and animals that lived in the past and have been converted to fossil fuels by geological processes over time. And as plants convert the suns energy into sugars, fossil fuels are stored solar energy.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The energy comes from the energy that was previously in dead plants/animals... to understand better read about the carboniferous period. It explains how fossil fuels were created, through the compression of decaying plant material that had lots of locked up carbon underneath layers of sediments.
How do you make fossil fuel last?
We can't because fossil. Fuels are made from non renewable energy which wil eventually will be finshed
