Question

Do natural disaster promote formationof fossil fuel

Answer 1

Answer:

Fossil fuels—including coal, oil, and natural gas—have been powering economies for over 150 years, and currently supply about 80 percent of the world’s energy. Fossil fuels formed millions of years ago from the carbon-rich remains of animals and plants, as they decomposed and were compressed and heated underground. When fossil fuels are burned, the stored carbon and other greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere. An excess build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has caused dramatic changes to Earth’s climate—a trend that will worsen as more fossil fuels are burned.
