They are burned, then various mechanisms convert the heat of burning to the desired form of energy.

Fossil fuels make source of energy?
they do but it can hurt the enviorment
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
How can you make more fossil fuels?
We can NOT make more fossil fuels, because it is (nearly) impossible to make up something that takes millions of years to have the process accomplished, or achieved.
What do fossil fuels contain that make them energy rich?
Fossil fuels are energy rich because they contain carbon. The carbon is broken down to create oil for human uses.
How do you release the energy from fossil fuels into living organismas?
Use the fossil fuels to make electricity. Use the electricity to make light and use this artificial light to raise crops (eg carrots). Feed the carrots to a rabbit. The rabbit will then be living on the energy (which was once sunlight) that was stored in the fossil fuels.
What are the two main sources of energy that give to the national grid?
nuclear energy and burning fossil fuels to push turbines that make electricity. ************************************************* the two main sources are burning lots of fossil fuels and nuclear energy
How much energy is produced compare to fossil fuels?
well that depends compare to solar energy i think fossil fuels make the most energy out of any other kind of energy because they have coal, petroleum, oil and natural gas in wish solar energy depends on the sun and wind energy in the wind that is why fossil fuels produced more energy than any other.
What are Fossill Fuels?
Examples of fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable energy sources which can be used to make electricity in a power station but it is very bad for the planet and global warming. Fossil fuels are running out slowly so we need to think of something else which is a renewable source of energy.
Can dead birds cause burning fossil fuels?
No. Fossil fuels like coal and petroleum result due to the carbonization process that occurs during the "fossilization" of trees and plant matter. The meat of a dead bird would not produce any fossil fuels. The death and decomposition of a bird will release greenhouse gasses, just like fossil fuels do when burned for energy, but this does not make the bird a fossil fuel since there is no fuel (for human use) derived from this activity.
Are all fuels examples of chemical energy?
They don't have to be. Some fuels are fossil fuels, which are rapidly disappearing right now. Some examples of fossil fuels are oil, which we use for gas, and coal, which we use for heat and electricity. But fossil fuels take millions of years to make more, so we are rapidly using up the fossil fuels of the world.
Give one disadvantage to converting from fossil fuels to geothermal energy?
Converting one form of energy to other always lost some energy in the process. The use of Geothermal energy is making electricity, fossil fuel can make electricity through generator. Adding unnecessary step from fossil fuel -> geothermal -> electricity is nothing more than additional loss in energy transformation process.
3 fossil fuels that make 90 percent of Australia's energy use?
Australia uses coal, oil and natural gas. These are fossil fuels. The amount of energy derived from the wind and solar is rising fast.
