Do fossil fuels increase the temperature?
Not until burned.
Does it take hundreds of years to form Fossil Fuels?
it takes millions of years. fossil fuels are made from organic matter from dinosaur times that have been buried an processed by the earth until today. that is why fossil fuels are running out because it takes so long to make
Are trees a fossil fuel?
No. Although trees can become fossil fuels, they are not considered fossil fuels until they are decomposed. Fossil fuels are created when organisms die and are decomposed over millions of years. They then form coal, petroleum or natural gas. These fuels are called nonrenewable resources, because they take so long to create. Trees grow relatively fast, so they are considered renewable.
Fossil fuels are stored energy that came from?
Fossil fuels are fuels like coal. These came for example from a dead fish that when it died its body sank to the sea bed and over the years and decades and thousands of years became buried under layers of soil and rock until it is finally dug up and burnt to produce fossil fuels.
Why must we conserve fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are a precious resource because they cannot be replaced. So it makes sense to use them carefully, until something else (renewable energy or nuclear fusion) is developed.

What is a solid fossil fuel form from plant remains?
Ancient plant remains are buried and compacted until they form fossil fuels. There are 3 types of fossil fuels: Natural Gas Oil and Coal; the only solid fossil fuel, which is what you're looking for.

Why should china be concerned about climate change?
They will have floods and droughts until they stop using fossil fuels.
How long will the worlds fossil fuels last at the current rate of increase of consumption?
Until the alien comes and destroy us, fossil fuel will last forever
Why is it important to conserve fossil fuels?
It is important because the earth cant have to much of that in the air. WE ARE RUNNING OUT only about 100 years more until we are done
What does the sun have to do with fossil fuels?
fossil fuels are the remains of dead plant matter, mostly plankton. Those plants use the sun to preform photosynthis. So the sun in a way grew the materials that the oil and coal we use today are made up of.
Are fossil fuels going to be used in the future?
Most likely yes, until we eventually exhaust it all and we have none left. Then we will move on to renewable energy resources.
Are there reasons to use more renewables now rather wait until nonrenewables run out?
Yes, using renewables now will give us a cleaner safer planet. Burning coal, oil and natural gas, all fossil fuels, provide power for industry, transport and electricity generation, but it comes with a polluting cost. The burning releases carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, which is causing global warming.
