Well, fossil fuels are burned which heat boilers, this creates steam which spins turbinescreating electricity.
Yes, that is the primary reason to use fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels release energy as the result of ignition.
four advantages for fossil fuels: Fossil fuels have high energy density, are readily transportable, are usable with current infrastructure, and
chemical energy
When fossil fuels are burned, they release energy stored years ago.
Thermal energy
fuels are burned to release the chemical energy
When fossil fuels are burned, some of the chemical energy stored in them is converted into thermal energy.
They are burned
When fossil fuels are burned they turn into mercury which released into the atmosphere
thermal energy.
Nonrenewable fossil fuels, like oil and coal, store a lot chemical energy in the bonds between its molecules. When these fossil fuels are burned, the chemical energy is released.
it released chemical energy
Fossil fuels can be burned to release the potential chemical energy stored millions of years ago.The process of burning fuels is called Combustion.

Fossil fuels represent chemical energy, a form of potential energy. This energy was stored in the hydrocarbon molecules and can be released by oxidation (burning).
