What do fossil fuels contain that make them energy rich?
Fossil fuels contain high concentrations of carbon and hydrogen atoms, which have a high energy content due to their strong chemical bonds. When these bonds are broken through combustion, a large amount of energy is released in the form of heat, which can be harnessed for various energy applications.
What fossil fuels originally got their energy from?
plants and animals
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.
Why is it wrong to say that fossil fuels are stores of light energy?
It's wrong to say this because it is inaccurate. Fossil fuels are stores of potential energy which can be converted (through combustion) into heat energy. Light energy is the energy that gives off light, but fossil fuels do not give off light.
Are Petrol and kerosene oil whice type of energy these fuels possess?
Petrol and kerosene oil are both fossil fuels that contain chemical potential energy. When burned, these fuels release energy in the form of heat and light.
What form of energy do fuels contain?
Fossil fuels contain chemical energy.
What did fossil fuels get their energy originally from?
The sun.
What does fossil fuels contain from the sun's radiant energy?
Fossil fuels contain energy that originally came from the sun, which was absorbed by plants through photosynthesis millions of years ago. This energy is stored in the form of carbon compounds in fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. When these fuels are burned, they release this stored energy in the form of heat and light.
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.
Fossil fuels actually got their energy originally from what?
bones
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.
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 is the name for the type of energy formed in fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are stores of chemical energy. The chemicals are various hydrocarbons. The original source of the energy locked in these chemicals is Sunlight. The fuel formed from the remains of plankton that were buried beneath the Earth millions of years ago. Geothermal processes converted the remains of living creatures to the hydrocarbons that we now call fossil fuels. Fossils do not make energy. Fossils are usually from larger animals and plants, but the term fossil fuel is one of common usage.
Fossil fuels is what energy?
the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
Did fossil fuels contain kinetic energy stored millions of years ago?
No, not kinetic energy.
