  3. Fossil fuels are burnt to extract heat energy for meeting energy requirements.
  4. Heat energy is used to convert different sources of energy like electrical energy, etc.
  5. The energy derived from fossil fuels depends on the kind of fossil and the duration and amount of heat and pressure endured by it.
