Fossil fuels are created over millions of years through the decomposition of organic matter like dead plants and animals under high pressure and heat. This process forms coal, oil, and natural gas, which are extracted from underground deposits through mining or drilling. Once extracted, these fuels are refined and processed for various uses like electricity generation, transportation, and heating.
What else can I help you with?
What are gas oil and coal called?
Fossil fuels.
What does fossil fuel mix with to create carbon dioxide water and heat?
When fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are burned, they mix with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor. This chemical reaction releases heat energy, which is why fossil fuels are commonly used as a source of energy for various applications.
Is it true that halogens are the basis of all fossil fuels?
No, halogens are not the basis of all fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are primarily made up of hydrocarbons, which are compounds of hydrogen and carbon. Halogens, like chlorine and fluorine, are not typically found in significant amounts in fossil fuels.
How can one create carbon dioxide?
One can create carbon dioxide by burning fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, or by breathing out as a byproduct of respiration.
Do all fossil fuels have in contain methane?
No, not all fossil fuels contain methane. Fossil fuels primarily consist of carbon and hydrogen, with varying amounts of other elements like sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen. Methane is mainly found in natural gas, which is a fossil fuel, but not all fossil fuels contain methane.
Could fossil fuels create electricity?
Yes, fossil fuels can and do create electricity. Most electricity round the world today is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
How are fossil fuels used to create energy?
They are burned
Do fossil fuels create sickness?
hmmm... ya
What are an advantige and disadvantige of energy reasourse for fossil fuels?
A disadvantage of fossil fuels is that when you burn them to create energy, it pollutes the air. An advantage of fossil fuels is that we use them to power cars and many other things.
The majority of the worlds electricity is supplied by burning 2 words?
fossil fuels
What are the disadvantages of using fossil fuels to create electricity?
You could run out!
What are the steps in which a power plant transforms the energy in fossil fuels to electrical energy?
Hi
What are some facts about fossil fuels?
Fossil Fuels are basically the three main things: Coal, Oil, and Natural gas.When these fossil fuels are burned they create pollution and add to the Greenhouse effect.Fossil fuels are also known as Greenhouse gases.The Greenhouse effect is caused by fossil fuels and what happens is basically heat is trapped in our Earths atmosphere causing global warming.
How are fossil fuels converted to fuels?
how r fossil fuels canverted to fuels
What steps are people taking to reduce their carbon footprints and global warming?
by burning fossil fuels
Is hydroelectric power better than fossil fuels?
Hydroelectric power is better than fossil fuels because it is renewable. The water cycle ensures that there will always be water flowing downstream to turn turbines. Fossil fuels take millions of years to create.
An energy-rich substance formed from the remains of organisms is?
Fossil Fuels =)
