What are fossil fuels and how do you get them?

Fossil fuels are dead animals and plants rotted into the ground and turn into turf and the like. That is what your turf is made of. It take millions of years for a bog to grow so thaqts why we have to be careful we dont use it all.


How can geothermal energy be used to replace fossil fuels?

Geothermal energy can be used to generate electricity by tapping into the Earth's heat through geothermal power plants. These plants use the steam and hot water from underground sources to turn turbines and produce electricity without the need for fossil fuels. It is a renewable and sustainable energy source that can help reduce our dependence on fossil fuels for electricity generation.


What does heat from fossil fuels used to boil water turn into in order to generate electricity?

The heat from fossil fuels used to boil water generates high-pressure steam, which then drives a turbine connected to a generator. As the turbine spins, it converts the kinetic energy from the steam into electrical energy, which can be used to power homes and businesses.


What are the main fossil fuels?

There are three different types of fossil fuels and they are:crude oil,natural gas andcoal.Fossil fuels are made of the remaining bodies of prehistoric creatures and plant matter.Some would include oil shale and bituminous sands, although current commercial production is minor.


How does conserving energy stop greenhouse gases from getting into the atmosphere?

Most energy (electricity and transport) comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). When fossil fuels burn, they emit carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. So if you save energy, then not so much fossil fuel is burnt and less greenhouse gases go into the air.
