Fossil fuels are burned to release energy in the form of heat, which is then used to generate electricity or power vehicles. The combustion process converts the chemical energy stored in fossil fuels into thermal energy, which can then be converted into mechanical or electrical energy for various applications.

How is the chemical energy in fossil fuels related to the sun's energy?
Fossil fuels are formed from organic matter that originally obtained its energy from the sun through photosynthesis. This organic matter stored the sun's energy in the form of chemical bonds, which is released as chemical energy when the fossil fuels are burned. So, the chemical energy in fossil fuels can be traced back to the sun's energy.
What are resources that are not fossil fuels called?
The resources that are non fossil fuels are called unlimited resources.
Does fossil fuels such as coal store chemical kinetic energy?
Fossil fuels like coal store potential energy in the form of chemical bonds. When they are burned, this potential energy is converted into heat energy (thermal energy) and released as a result of chemical reactions taking place. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, and while there may be kinetic energy involved in the burning process (e.g., moving particles in the flame), the primary form of energy stored in fossil fuels is potential energy.
Are all fuels examples of chemical energy?
They don't have to be. Some fuels are fossil fuels, which are rapidly disappearing right now. Some examples of fossil fuels are oil, which we use for gas, and coal, which we use for heat and electricity. But fossil fuels take millions of years to make more, so we are rapidly using up the fossil fuels of the world.
Are Fossil fuels a form of chemical energy?
Yes, it is. Because coal and fuel(oil) are both fossil fuels and contain stored chemical energy that needs no further treatment to produce thermal energy as they burn. So fossil fuel is a form of chemical energy.
Fossil fuels is what energy?
the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
How can you obtain fossil fuels?
fossil fuels come from non-renewable (will not last forever) energy resources, these non-renewable energy resources (fossil fuels) come from CRUDE OIL, COAL, NATURAL GAS, NUCLEAR, sometimes wood and biomass - this depends on how it is extracted
Is kinetic energy stored by fossil fuels?
No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.
An energy-rich substance formed from the remains of organisms is?
Fossil Fuels =)
Are fossil fuels alternative energy?
No. Alternative energy means energy sources other than fossil fuels.
What are the advantage of burning wood to obtain energy over burning fossil fuels?
Its easier to obtain wood than liquid explosive dinosaurs
What energy source can you use instead of fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are exhaustible. Electric energy is an alternative.
Where did the fossil fuels get there energy?
Ultimately, all energy only comes from the Sun. This is how the energy is transferred: Sun>plants>animals. Therefore, fossil fuels obtain their energy from plants itself and animals when they've consumed plants.
What sources of energy are most damaging to the environment?
Fossil fuels.
Are fossil fuels used to produce energy?
All fuels by definition are used to produce energy, fossil fuels are no exception. (Shorter answer: Yes.)
What do thermal energy and fossil fuels have in common?
When fossil fuels are burned, some of the chemical energy stored in them is converted into thermal energy.
Is it bad to obtain fossil fuels from underground?
yes it is
