Question

Fossil fuels are ____________, ____________, and ____________ .

• A. Coal, Petroleum
• B. Natural gas

Answer 1

Fossil fuels:

1. Fossil fuels are the result of the long-term decomposition of organic matter such as animal and plant remnants.
2. The slow degradation of organic matter forms peat, which is partially decayed matter.
3. The peat after further continuous heat, pressure and geological processes leads to the formation of coal and petroleum.
4. Fossil fuels are important as they are fossils that are rich in energy reserves.
5. The formation of fossil fuels requires millions of years.
6. Gasoline, Tar, Diesel, Kerosene, etc., are some of the essential products derived from petroleum.
7. Bituminous, Lignite, Anthracite, etc., are some of the products derived from coal.

Natural gas:

1. Natural gas is a highly flammable gas extracted deep beneath petroleum reserves.
2. Natural gas and crude oil are extracted together.
3. Natural gas is used in households for cooking as a domestic fuel.
4. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is used as a source of fuel for operating vehicles after pressure cooling it to liquid form.
5. Examples of natural gases are methane, ethane, etc.

Final answer: Fossil fuels are coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
