Answer:

Fossil fuels are formed when organic matter that has been buried deep within the earth are subject to heat and pressure over millions of years. ... In both cases, the dead organisms are buried over time and the extreme heat and pressure converts these dead organisms into either coal, natural gas, or oil.

Dead plants and animals by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years is the formation of fossil fuels.

Explanation:

  • Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, mainly coal, fuel oil or natural gas, produced from the remains of dead plants and animals by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years.
  • The combustion of fossil fuels by humans is the primary source of carbon dioxide emissions, which is one of the greenhouse gasses that allows for radiative forcing and leads to global warming.
  • A small portion of the hydrocarbon-based fuels are biofuels derived from atmospheric carbon dioxide and therefore do not increase the net amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
