What fossil fuels originally got their energy from?
plants and animals
What do fossil fuels contain that make them energy rich?
Fossil fuels are energy rich because they contain carbon. The carbon is broken down to create oil for human uses.
Why do some people call it buried sunshine?
fossil fuelsI assume you are talking about fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas). You can call these buried sunshine since the energy in fossil fuels comes from decaying plants and microorganisms. Those plants and microorganisms got their energy originally from the sun. So all the energy in fossil fuels originally came from the sun.
Fossil fuel harness the energy?
fossil fuels are a type of renewable resources
How does a power plant transform energy in fossil fuels to electrical energy?
steps for power plant transform fossil fuels
What form of energy do fuels contain?
Fossil fuels contain chemical energy.
What did fossil fuels get their energy originally from?
The sun.
What kind of energy do fossil fuels contain?
potential
Are fossil fuels stored solar energy?
Yes, the energy in fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) came originally from the sun.
What fossil fuels originally got their energy from?
plants and animals
Fossil fuels actually got their energy originally from what?
bones
What do fossil fuels contain that make them energy rich?
Fossil fuels are energy rich because they contain carbon. The carbon is broken down to create oil for human uses.
Fossil fuels contains energy that originally came from?
the sun:-)
Is fossil fuels a resource of inexhaustible solar energy?
Fossil fuel energy is from the sun originally that is true. But they are certainly not inexhaustible.
Why is the sun the source of energy for fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are produced by the slow alteration of masses of vegetation, compressed underground. That vegetation originally used the energy of sunlight to grow, therefore it is the sun's energy which is stored in chemical form, in fossil fuels.
What do fossil fuels contain from the Sun's radiant energy via photosynthesis?
Chemical Energy
