Energy source that was formed millions years ago from the rimains of living organims?

Fossil fuels.


What is the difference between fossils and fossils fuels?

Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms, while fossil fuels are natural resources that formed from the decay of ancient organisms over millions of years, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. Fossils are used by scientists to study the history of life on Earth, while fossil fuels are used as energy sources for human activities.

What happened to the normal process of decay which resulted in fossil fuels being formed?

That process still occurs today, the problem is that it has, and still does take an extremely long time. Plants were decaying for millions of years before humans discovered that fossil fuels were a good energy source, now it's only been about 150 years since then (the Industrial Revolution in Europe, when fossil fuels began to be used in large amounts), so very little fuel has been produced. It would take millions upon millions of years to replace the fossils fuels that we have consumed.


Are fossil fuels fossils?

Yes. They are a large group of fossils which are full of the energy of the dead creatures or plants which formed them.


How do fossil fuels differ from fossils?

Fossil fuels and fossils are related but distinct concepts. Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, are energy sources formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that have undergone geological processes over millions of years. In contrast, fossils are the preserved remains or traces of organisms from the past, often found in sedimentary rock, and provide valuable information about the history of life on Earth. While both involve ancient biological material, fossil fuels are primarily energy resources, whereas fossils are records of past life.


Fossil fuels form from nuclear chain reactions?

Fossil fuels do not form from nuclear chain reactions. Fossil fuels are formed from the decay of organic matter over millions of years in the Earth's crust. Nuclear chain reactions refer to the process of nuclear fission in which atomic nuclei split, releasing energy.


How was fossil fuels created?

Fossils are formed from millions of years ago when sometime during the extinction of the dinosaurs, their skeletons get caught in rocks during Earth's process of Erosion. Fossils of other prehistoric creatures, like the Sea Monsters, were fossilized earlier before and/or after the K-1 Event.


What nonrenewable energy source comes from dead organism?

The nonrenewable energy source that comes from dead organisms is fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These fuels are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that have been buried and transformed over millions of years.
