Fossil fuels are organisms that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. As these plants, animals, and other organismsdied, their remains piled up. Over time, heat and pressure changed the material into other substances, including coal, oil, and natural gas. Fossil fuels are also made of hydrocarbons=energy-rich chemical compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen atoms.
