The term fossil means the remains of pre-historic plants and animals buried under the earth millions of years ago may be due to some natural calamity. Fossil fuels are formed from dead plants and animals which got buried deep in the earth and got covered with sediments like mud and sand in the absence of oxygen. Chemical reactions, high pressure, heat and the action of anaerobic bacteria converted these fossils into fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and natural gas. This happened over a period of millions of years due to certain slow changes under special circumstances. Since these conditions are not prevailing now, therefore no new fossil fuels are being formed now. Hence, they have been classified as non-renewable sources.
