Coal, oil, and natural gas are called fossil fuels because they are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. Over time, heat and pressure transformed these organic materials into hydrocarbons, which are the primary components of fossil fuels. This process occurs over geological timescales, making fossil fuels non-renewable resources. Their combustion releases energy, but it also contributes to environmental issues like greenhouse gas emissions.
