Answer:
why the coal and petroleum are known as fossil fuels?
Coal is called a fossil fuel because it was made from plants that were once alive! Since coal comes from plants, and plants get their energy from the sun, the energy in coal also came from the sun. The coal we use today took millions of years to form. ... Heat and pressure turned the dead plants into coal.
