Question

How were the tossil fuels formed in nature?

Answer 1

Fossil fuel is a general term for buried combustible geologic deposits of organic materials, formed from decayed plants and animals that havebeen converted to crude oil, coal,natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years.

Answer 2

Answer:

The fossil fuels are made up of organic matter. When organic matter gets mixed in the soil, it stays there for years and years and centuries to form a fossil fuels.

Explanation:

• Hydrogen and carbon are the main content in fossil fuel. Different type of fossil fuels is formed differently.
• Example: Coal is a fossil fuel.
• It is made up of dead and decayed vegetation. When the layer by layer of the soil gets compacted and heated again and again, coal is formed.
• Oil is another type of fossil fuel. It is made up of dead and decayed marine micro-organisms. After many years, the dead micro-organisms are made into the rocks and the sediments. From those sediments, the oil is extracted.
