Fossil fuels are formed from the remains of organic matter that decomposed over thousands of millions of years under the extreme heat and pressure of the earth's crust and also under the influence of geological and biological processes..

Fossil Fuels are basically a kind of fuel sources by fossils made from carbon or hydrocarbons in the earth's crust,

Methane, liquid Petroleum, anthracite coal are the main types of fossil fuels. It is a prime source of energy used throughout the world and around 86 percent of energy is produced through this medium. It is non-renewable source of energy. That is why the world is concerned about depletion of these resources.

Fossil fuel are natural substances made deep within the Earth from the remains of acients plants and animals. Coal, oil and natural gas are major tpes of fossil fuel. Over time heat and pressure tunes decomposing remains into fuel which realease enrgy when burned.

Decayed organisms that lived a long time ago were buried in layers of sediments, silt, and mud. After many many years of pressure and heat, fossil fuels are produced :)

Oil and such are pumped from the ground, dinosaurs billions years were buried deep underground and now they are oil and natural gas that we use today

Fossil fuels comprise of three things which are coal, oil and natural gas. These substances cannot be artificially made and are found naturally in the earth's atmosphere. These three substances are continuously made under the earth's crust. These substances take at least millions of years to produce. The main ingredient which is found in all these substances is hydrocarbons. The basic element which is found in these substances is carbon. Fossil fuels have been developing under the earth's crust since the beginning of the earth. It started gaining more during the dinosaur age. Till this day, these fossil fuels are used by people all over the world.

Fossil fuels are becoming scarce due to their heavy usage by the people of the world. It is our duty to preserve and make the optimum use of these natural resources or mankind will face a lot of troubles if the world runs out of fossil fuels.

The are 3 main types of fossil fuel.
Natural Gas
Coal
And oil
Natural Gas is when the fumes from rotting and decaying things have been trapped over thousand of years and 'matured'
Coal is when wood and trees from millions of years ago has been compacted together over that long time period into the coal
Oil is the reminants of things that have decayed, when you find oil it is normally accompanied by a gas pocket

Fossil fuels are non renewabla resources, that were formed millions of years ago from the remains of dead plants and
Animals. For example when the dinosaurs died they disintegrated into the soil and made the fossil fuels because they are daed animals. Example of fossil fuels are oil, coal, and natural gas.

Oil  and gas are trapped under rock formations as they rise up.
Oil, natural gas, and methane are formed deep in the earth.
They are not made from plants or animals.

It's is a natural process that is still happening. And will continue for many eon's to come

Go away I am trying to work. Fossil fuels are from dead plants and animals. Ex. When the dinasours died there bodies became soil and slowly decreased into the earth.
