Fossils are formed when something organic - a corpse, organic waste, plant matter, etc. - falls into soft mud and is covered before it has a chance to decave over-much. Over time, the organic bits rot away and leave a hollow space which is then filled with sediments that harden with the soil around them and become encased in rock. Some fossils are so well-preserved that you can see the imprints of scales or even feathers in the rock around the bones it is embedded in, even though they have long since decayed.

Which of following is the major form of energy driving the water cycle?
fossil fuels
Plants hardened over thousands of years forming which is one of your energy sources today?
Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, were formed over thousands of years from the remains of plants and other organisms. When these fossil fuels are burned, they release stored energy in the form of heat, which is used for electricity generation, transportation, and heating.
When humans burn fossil fuels called?
When humans burn fossil fuels, the process is called combustion. This chemical reaction releases energy in the form of heat and light, producing carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other pollutants as byproducts. Combustion of fossil fuels is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change and air pollution.
The primary products of complete combustion of fossil fuels are?
The primary products of complete combustion of fossil fuels are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). This process releases energy in the form of heat and light. Additionally, combustion may also produce small amounts of other pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide.
What form of energy do fuels contain?
Fossil fuels contain chemical energy.
Are fossil fuels carbon-based?
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon into the atmosphere in the form of CO2. Yes.
When did fossil fuels form?
2 days ago.
Is not a sustainable form of energy production?
Fossil fuels
Why does it matter if you burn fossil fuels?
When we burn fossil fuels, that fossil fuel is gone. *POOF!* And it'll take millions of years for the nonrenewable resource to form again. Therefore we need to conserve fossil fuels as much as possible.
How many years does it take for fossil fuels to form?
1.

Are fossil fuels the cheapest form of energy?
I don't think they are.
What three things help form fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are formed from the remains of plants, animals, and other organic matter that have been buried and compressed over millions of years. The three main components that help form fossil fuels are carbon, pressure, and heat.
What is a solid fossil fuel form from plant remains?
Ancient plant remains are buried and compacted until they form fossil fuels. There are 3 types of fossil fuels: Natural Gas Oil and Coal; the only solid fossil fuel, which is what you're looking for.
What fossil fuel is used faster than it is replaced?
All fossil fuels are being used faster than they are replaced. Fossil fuels by definition take millions of years to form.
Why fossil fuels are called non-renewable source of energy?
Fossil fuels took millions of years to form. The time scale is such that it is not possible to renew fossil fuels on a human time scale. It is for that reason that they are called non-renewable.
