What is a fossil fuel?
The term “fossil fuel” refers to a natural fuel source that was formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms. Fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas come from the remains of ancient plants and animals that were buried for millions of years.
The conditions that the remains were under over time (such as pressure and temperature) play a part in the fossil fuel they became. For example, coal is primarily formed from the remains of land plants that have been compressed and heated.
Humans access fossil fuels today by drilling and mining into the earth to extract them from rocks and geologic formations.
