What else can I help you with?
Is a material that formed from the decay of ancient organisms and is used today as a source of energy?
Yes, the material you are referring to is fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These fuels formed over millions of years from the remains of plants and animals, and are now used for energy production in various sectors like transportation, electricity generation, and heating.
An energy-rich substance formed from the remains of organisms is?
Fossil Fuels =)
What are coal oil and natural gases examples of?
Coal, oil, and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels. These fuels are formed from the decayed remains of plants and animals over millions of years and are a non-renewable energy source. They are commonly used for electricity generation, transportation, and heating.
How do fossils turn into oil?
fossil fuels r like decayed plants and animals (so FOSSILS) from 100 million years ago. they get turned into coal and oil and then drilled out.
How did ancient organisms become fossil fuels?
Ancient organisms became fossil fuels through a process called diagenesis, where organic matter from dead plant and animal remains is buried and subjected to high pressure and temperature over millions of years. This transforms the organic material into hydrocarbons, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, which are the substances we extract and use as fossil fuels.
What are nonrenewable resources made from decayed plants?
fossil fuels
What happened to organisms that led to the formation of fossil fuels?
they decayed
Where are fossil fuels normally found?
They are found in decayed organisms.
What can the energy from fossil fuels be traced back to?
decayed organisms
What is fuel biologically speaking?
fuel is the decayed remains of plant and animal matter after thousands of years. hence the name: fossil fuels.
How is energy produce d from fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels (hence the name) are natural fuels that come from decayed bodies (humus or fossils) in the earth.
Are there fuels which are not fossils fuels?
Yes! There are because fossil fuel have to be made up of decayed animal or plant parts. Some are not because they are naturally made differently. Others, are forged so, they are TECHNICALLY not real fossil fuels, though, some may consider them...
What developed fossil fuels?
Ancient plants that have decayed into liquid carbon, in a nutshell.
Fossil fuels formed over a long period of time because heat and pressure were applied to?
Organisms buried in the ground. Hope that helped! :P
Are fossil fuels combustible material?
yes.. they are..
Why are fossil fuels nonrewnewable?
Fossil fuels are nonrenewable because they are formed over millions of years from the decayed remains of plants and animals. Since this process takes such a long time, fossil fuels are being consumed faster than they can be replenished, making them nonrenewable resources.
What did the plants and animals look like before they turned into fossil fuel?
Fossil fuels come from decayed plants and animals. Oil typically comes from dead marine life. Coal comes from decaying plants. So, before they are transformed into fuels (which can take millions of years), the decaying organic material is likely to be brown. Of course, before they die, the plants and animal look just like they do today.
