Made from ancient plants and animals?
Fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas are made from ancient plants and animals that were buried and transformed over millions of years under heat and pressure. These fuels are non-renewable resources and are major sources of energy for powering modern society.
An energy-rich substance formed from the remains of organisms is?
Fossil Fuels =)
Homes that are heated with natural gas use a type of energy than can be classified as a what?
Homes heated with natural gas use a type of energy classified as fossil fuel energy. Fossil fuels are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals, and when burned, they release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Do you agree that the fossil fuel that people use for energy is produced by the process of photosynthesis?
Yes. Plants obtain energy via photosynthesis and store that energy in the form of carbohydrates. Sometimes when a plant dies it gets buried deep enough heat and pressure inside the earth converts the plant tissue into what we know as fossil fuels, with the same energy stored in the molecules.
Coal oil and natural gas are?
fossil fuels formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient plants and animals. They are non-renewable resources that are burned to produce energy, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
How did plants and animals get their energy before they became fossil fuels?
Plants derive energy through photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into chemical energy. Animals obtain their energy by consuming plants or other animals. In this way, energy flows through the food chain, with each organism relying on the energy stored in the organisms they consume. Before the formation of fossil fuels, the primary sources of energy were natural phenomena such as sunlight, wind, and organic matter from living organisms.
Energy resources from remains of plants and animals?
fossil fuels
What Problem with using fossil fuel for energy?
Animals life
What role does the sun play in making fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels wwwwwwwere once living plants and animals. If they were plants they got their energy from the sun, and if they were animals they got their energy from eating plants who got their energy from the sun, or from eating animals who ate animals who ate plants who got their energy from the sun. In other words the sun is the source of all energy. The sun´s energy is stored in living beings, in plants and the animals that eat the plants, and if conditions are right, that energy is then stored in the form of fossil fuels.
How do plants and animals store energy found in fossil fuels?
Plants and animals both store energy found in fossil fuels by going threw a system call cell fertilization thru out their life.
Is geothermal not a fossil fuel or is it a fossil fuel?
Geothermal energy is not a fossil fuel, because it is harnessing energy from the thermal heat energy within the earth and is not dependent upon decomposed ancient plants and animals, which is what coal, oil, and natural gas are, which is why they are called "fossil fuels."
Why didn't fossil fuels animals rot away?
because energy keeps it from rotting
What is energy source that is made from the buried remains from plants and animals called?
fossil fuels
Where does the energy fossil fuel come from?
The sun. Fossil fuels are made up of plants and animals that lived in the past and have been converted to fossil fuels by geological processes over time. And as plants convert the suns energy into sugars, fossil fuels are stored solar energy.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The energy comes from the energy that was previously in dead plants/animals... to understand better read about the carboniferous period. It explains how fossil fuels were created, through the compression of decaying plant material that had lots of locked up carbon underneath layers of sediments.
What are some sources of energy other then fossil fuels?
Solar energy, wind energy, firewood, muscle power (from humans or animals), tidal energy.
Where did the fossil fuels get there energy?
Ultimately, all energy only comes from the Sun. This is how the energy is transferred: Sun>plants>animals. Therefore, fossil fuels obtain their energy from plants itself and animals when they've consumed plants.
How did the plants and animals get there energy when fossil fuels were made?
Plants obtained energy through photosynthesis by converting sunlight into chemical energy. Animals obtained energy by consuming plants or other animals that had stored energy from consuming plants. Fossil fuels were formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago and stored their energy in the form of carbon-rich compounds through natural processes.
