Why are coal oil and natural gas are fossil fuels?
They have been formed over millions of years as dead animals and plants have been crushed and compressed by the weight of the ever-increasing material on top of them. Their age, along with the fact that they are unrenewable sources i.e. they will never be re-made, leads to the fact that they are fossil fuels.
