They burn the oil to boil water and create high temperature, high pressure steam. This steam is directed through a steam turbine which rotates.
This is connected to a generator, which transfers rotational movement into electrical energy.
The electricity is then passed through wires to your house.

What is the difference in how heat is obtained in geothermal power plant and fossil fueled power plants?
Geothermal energy comes from the earth, meaning getting heat from magma within the earth, whereas fossil fueled power plants burn fossil fuels, like oil turned into gas.
What kind of power plants produce electrical energy from moving water?
Hydroelectric plants.

fission
What is the method used to produce nuclear energy in power plants?
nuclear fission
The current in an electric motor comes from?
Power plants (fueled by elements) produce the electrical energy that circuits to an outlet that you can charge an electric motor with a plug that is wired to an electric motor. Or if it is a vehicle with an electric motor, you electrically charge car batteries that produce the current to the electric motor.
