The energy stored in oil and coal is stored as chemical energy. This energy is released when the substances are burned or oxidized.
Fossil fuels store energy through a process called photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight into chemical energy through the absorption of carbon dioxide and water. Over millions of years, this stored energy becomes trapped in the Earth's crust and is transformed into fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. The primary form of energy stored in fossil fuels is chemical energy.
When the trees and vegetation were growing they took in solar energy through photosynthesis. This energy was stored in the plants as hydrocarbons. It remains there as the plants, over millions of years, become fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Petroleum is concentrated sunlight, which was captured by plants, then compressed and heated for millions of years.
When you burn oil to heat your house, the potential energy stored in the oil is converted into heat energy. This heat energy is then used to warm up the air inside your house, providing you with a source of warmth.
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and nuclear power are all non-renewable energy.
Chemical energy.
yes
Fuels such as oil, wood, coal, and natural gas have energy stored in them. This kind of energy is called chemical process of burning, the energy is released in the form of heat.
chemical energy
The kind that's bad for our Earth. :(
Yes, the energy in fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) came originally from the sun.
Geothermal energy is trapped within the Earth's crust. This energy is produced by the heat stored beneath the surface and can be harnessed for various purposes like generating electricity or heating buildings.
The oil thermal plant refers to the chemical energy that is stored in the fossil fuel like the natural gas, oil shale, fuel oil, and coal. They are usually successively converted into thermal energy, mechanical energy, and electrical energy.

Coal, gas,oil, and wood. All of these are burned (oxidized in air), which releases the chemical energy stored within its chemical bonds.
