The Sun passed solar energy to the plants, and plants were eaten by animals. When the plants and animals died and started decaying, some of them got buried deep under the ground for many millions of years, where they turned into fossil fuels like coal, gas and crude oil.
We burn that coal and oil to turn them into heat energy. Heat energy is transformed in power plants into electricity that goes through the power lines to our homes, then powers our televisions, computers, etc.
What else can I help you with?
What is the alternative of the fossil fuel of coal?
Fossil fuels-including coal, natural gas, and oil-are formed from the fossilized remains of prehistoric plants and animals, and fossil fuels provide about 95% of the world's total energy. Alternative fuels are better for the environment and often better for the economy than fossil fuels. Learn about the controversies and conservation plans surrounding fossil fuels, and explore the alternatives.
How can fossil fuels be formed?
Fossil fuels are formed over millions of years from the remains of plants and animals that were buried and subjected to high pressure and heat. Oil and natural gas are mainly formed from marine organisms, while coal is primarily formed from land plants. The decayed organic matter is transformed into fossil fuels through processes like chemical reactions and microbial action.
Are fossil fuels formed naturally and quickly?
No, fossil fuels are formed over millions of years from the remains of plants and animals that have been buried and subjected to high pressure and heat. The process of fossil fuel formation is slow and occurs naturally in the Earth's crust.
An energy-rich substance formed from the remains of organisms is?
Fossil Fuels =)
Forms of energy made from the remains of dead plants and small creatures is are called?
Fossil fuels. These include coal, oil, and natural gas, formed over millions of years from the decomposition of organic matter. When these fuels are burned, they release energy in the form of heat or electricity.
How did the plants and animals get there energy when the fossil fuels were formed?
From the sun mostly, just like now.
How do you rewrite this sentence to make it correct Fossil fuels are made from the fossils of dinosaurs?
Fossil fuels are not made from the fossils of dinosaurs.
How does fossil fuels get converted into electricity?
Actually the energy of fossil fuels is converted into electricity.In thermal power plants fossil fuels are used to heat the water and steam is formed.Then that pressurized steam helps in rotating turbines and energy is formed.
Are fossil fuels radioactive?
No, fossil fuels are not radioactive. Fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas are formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. Radioactive materials are not part of the formation process of fossil fuels.
Which fossil fuel is formed over millions of years from sun?
Fossil fuels are formed on Earth, not on Sun.
What is a substance such as coal or oil that was formed millions of years ago from the remains of plants and animals?
Fossil Fuels
What types of fossil fuels are formed under the earth?
The main types of fossil fuels formed under the earth are coal, oil (petroleum), and natural gas. These fossil fuels are created from ancient organic matter such as plants and animals that have been transformed over millions of years due to heat and pressure.
