Fossil fuels (coal, petroleum, and natural gas) are made, over long periods of time, from vegetable matter including algae, ferns, etc. Sometimes in popular culture, fossil fuels are said to result from dinosaur remains, but that is not the case; dinosaurs, like any other animal, will decay after death, and do not leave behind any fossil fuels (although they do leave behind fossils of other sorts).
Forms of energy made from the remains of dead plants and small creatures is are called?

Fossils fuel contains potassium or not?
Fossil fuels do not typically contain high levels of potassium. Most fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, are primarily made up of carbon and hydrogen compounds, with smaller amounts of sulfur, nitrogen, and other elements. Potassium is not a common component of fossil fuels.
