What are 3 types of fossil fuels?

Three types of fossil fuels are coal, oil, and natural gas. These fuels are formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago and have been compacted and transformed by geological processes. Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources that are commonly used for energy production.

What is wrong with fossil fuels?

Fossil fuel is so much a part of our life that it is hard to call it "wrong" but there should not be wasteful usage of these fuels. The primary fossil fuels are oil, gas and coal.The earth contains a limited quantity of these fuels. Many of the deposits of these fuels we will never be able to tap because they are too remote, small or expensive to recover. Offshore deposits of oil may lie in water too deep to make commercial discoveries.As we use fossil fuels, we are forced to explore more remote parts of the world to find more fossil fuels. As a result the cost of fossil fuels increases.We obtain energy from fossil fuels by burning them, and the products from combustion can contaminate the air. There is a greenhouse effect from this combustion which contributes to global warming. Combustion of gasoline in our cars releases a number of pollutants that can be harmful to our health, particularly in cities. In addition, acid rain can harm our forests.I have included 3 related links, but you can find much more information on the internet on future challenges of fossil fuel use.


What is a reason for not using fossil fuels?

1. using fossil fuels may be a contributor to global warming 2. mining fossil fuels is harmful to the environment 3. our supply of fossil fuels is limited therefore the price for them will go up as fossil fuels run out 4. sometime in the future society will have to transfer to an alternative energy supply, (i.e. renewable energy, nuclear, hydrogen) so using alternative fuels now can help the transition so we can be completely weaned off of fossil fuels once they run out. 5. buying oil from the Middle East is funding their terrorist activity 6. the pollution caused by burning fossil fuels obviously isn't good for people to breath and is causing many health problems

Name 3 ways that fossil fuel convert into other forms of energy and expain?

Fossil fuels can be burned in power plants to generate electricity, which can then be used to power homes and businesses. Fossil fuels can be used to produce heat for industrial processes such as manufacturing and refining. Fossil fuels can be converted into transportation fuels like gasoline and diesel, which power vehicles such as cars, trucks, and airplanes.
