Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) began their lives more than 300 million years ago, before the dinosaurs, when trees and other vegetation became covered with silt and debris. The long years of heat and pressure eventually turned them into hydrocarbons.

fossil fuels is the answer correct
When fossil fuels are burned they release energy stored thousands of years ago?
When fossil fuels are burned, they release energy stored years ago.
How do fossil fuels contain solar energy?
Fossil fuels come from plants and microscopic organisms, which long ago died and were buried in the earth and slowly transformed into coal, oil, and gas. These plants and microorganisms once, millions of years ago, got their energy from the sun. Thus, all fossil fuels received some solar energy.
How do you make fossil fuels create heat?
Fossil fuels, coal, oil and natural gas, are a non-renewable source of energy. Formed from plants and animals that lived up to 300 million years ago, fossil fuels are found in deposits beneath the earth
What is fossil fuel called?
short answerA bad idea, since(i) they produce CO2 (partly responsible for the rise in global warming),(ii) there is a limited amount of fossil fuel from which we make valuable materials such as lubricants and plastics,(iii) fossil fuel resources are finite, so burning them means we are consuming a resource we can never replace, and(iv) we can actually build new industries and create many new jobs developing renewable sources of energy instead of burning fossil fuels.
What is the name for the energy that was formed long ago in the carboniferous period?

What is a leading theory for the formation of fossil fuels?
Organic matter was compressed and heated
What does fossil fuels mean?

What is the name of the fossil fuels from the remains of forest plants from long ago?
the fossil fuel created is coal
What is a substance such as coal or oil that was formed millions of years ago from the remains of plants and animals?

When did the plants and animals that made fossil fuels live?
A long time ago
Which a leading theory for the formation of fossil fuels?
organic matter
Why are coal and oil and natural gas called fossil fuels?
Coal, petroleum,and natural gas, are called fossil fuels because they were formed millions of years ago, during the Carboniferous period.
Has the use of fossil fuels changed over time?
it will change if we use lots of fossil fuels. Because we cannot make fossil feuls because it is from long time ago. from:Alex
