How do people use fossil fuel?

Answer 1

Fossil fuels are fuels that were formed many many years ago and are now impossible to practically "create" as the chances are by the time we have made them (using maximum effort and resources) theres a good chance the effort will be wasted (Humans extinct, new fuels, e.t.c)

Oil, Made from dead animals and plants compressed at the ocean floor under years of mud pressing on it - is generally used for burning to create electricity through use of a turbine, and for running motors.

Methane (or Natural Gas) forms in deep underground "Pockets" over many years - and is generally used to fuel "gas" cookers through combustion (burning).

Coal, Made from dead fallen trees, or sections of trees, that many years ago sunk into the earth over time and became compressed under the weight of the earth and formed in deposits - is generally used to create electricity through a turbine, but also used for general barbeque fires through combustion.

The process of substances changing over time is called Metamorphasis

"Morph" meaning change and "Meta" meaning process of changing.

90% of our power comes from fossil fuels and 10% comes from natural resources and we are running out extremely fast. This is a problem for everyone.

Hydrogen (H2) is a gas almost unlimited in quantaties and would provide a reliable and clean resource, creating only Water in the form of steam when burned, but however is extremely volitile (easily-ignited) and potentially difficult to use safely. This is still however considered a possible solution to the problem which is, the lack of fossil fuels.

Answer 2

People use fossil fuels by burning them to produce energy for things like electricity, heating, transportation, and manufacturing. Fossil fuels are also used as raw materials in the production of plastics, chemicals, and other industrial products.
