Answer 1

Answer:

Coal – mined and fuels 1/3 of the world’s power (largest consumers are China, India, and the US)

Crude Oil – pumped up through the earth and split through refining to produce different oils we use for fuel (like gasoline, diesel, kerosene, etc.)

Natural Gas – this is mainly methane found near oil deposits and caused the development of the controversial fracking process
