Question

Write short note on fossil fuels

Answer 1

Answer:

Fossil fuel: Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, primarily coal, fuel oil or natural gas, formed from the remains of dead plants and animals. ... A small portion of hydrocarbon-based fuels are biofuels derived from atmospheric carbon dioxide, and thus do not increase the net amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Answer 2

Answer:

Fossil fuels are formed when organic matter that has been buried deep within the earth are subject to heat and pressure over millions of years. The dead organisms are buried over time and the extreme heat and pressure converts these dead organisms into either coal, natural gas, or oil.
