organic
Diesel fuel, like all combustible fuels, is considered organic. It is a mixture of several different lengths of hydrocarbons along with some additives for engine protection and fuel stabilization.

Are fossil fuels minerals?

No, fossil fuels are not classified as minerals. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons derived from the remains of plants and animals that have been transformed over millions of years. Minerals, on the other hand, are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a defined chemical composition and crystal structure.


What is the difference between mineral fuel and fossil fuel?

Mineral fuel is a broad category that includes both fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, and natural gas) and other resources like uranium. Fossil fuels specifically refer to hydrocarbons that formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals over millions of years. So, all fossil fuels are mineral fuels, but not all mineral fuels are fossil fuels.


Why are fossil fuels not considered to be minerals?

Most likely because fossil fuels are not minerals. They are ultimately composed of organic matter which came from living things that died and became buried under sediment. Through a lot of time and a great amount of pressure the fossil fuels were developed. This is also why fossil fuels are considered non-renewable resources because it takes so long to make them. That's all :) JAE HERMOSA


Why is dead organic matter important to the carbon- oxygen cycle?

Because fossil fuels are produced from dead organic matter. Then the fossil fuels are burnt, and they release carbon.


Which type of energy is stored in fossil fuels?

Chemical energy is stored in fossil fuels, resulting from the organic matter that underwent decomposition over millions of years. This energy is released when the fossil fuels are burned or combusted.


Fossil fuels are organic compounds that are made from?

Fossil fuels are organic compounds made from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. These organic materials were subjected to high pressure and heat over time, transforming into coal, oil, and natural gas.

How does carbon get inside fossil fuels?

Carbon gets inside fossil fuels through the decomposition of organic matter, such as plants and animals, over millions of years. As the organic matter gets buried deep in the Earth's crust, heat and pressure transform it into fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. These fuels consist primarily of carbon compounds formed from the original organic material.
