2.  Fossil fuels are formed by the earths natural resources.
 They are mostly found from dead organisms from
millions of years ago.
 Were created around the Carbonifeous period

3.  here are 3 major forms of Fossil Fuels. They are
coal, oil, and natural gas
 They were formed hundreds of millions years
ago way before dinosaurs were around.

4.  Hard, black colored like rock Made up of
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and
amounts of sulfur.
 Formed from the remains of vegetation that
grew about 400 million years ago. Also formed
when much of the Earth was covered by
steamy swamps.
 Three major coal formations: Anthracite,
Bituminous, and Lignite

5.  Different stages of coal formation Lignite- Lowest
rank for its heat energy producing capability.
 Deposit the most the lowest intensity of heat and
pressure.
 Sub Bituminous- Higher carbon content and make
up majority of coal in the U.S. Bituminous-
Estimation of 100 to 300 million years old.
 Used for energy in power plants.
 Anthracite- High carbon content, cleanest burning
coal but is very rare.

6.  Coal helps produce electricity.
 Helps build homes, start fires, heats homes,
and help produces iron and steel.

7.  Oil is used as a fossil fuel because it gives out
energy and is a big part to our environment
today
 It is used for things such as cars, paint, and
even clothing.

8.  The main ingredient in natural gas is methane,
a gas composed of one carbon atom and four
hydrogen atoms.
 It also came from animals and plants decayed
millions of years ago.

9.  Used for cooking, washing, drying, and even
air conditioning.

10.  An industrial plant used for purifying the
substances.
 Its important because fossil fuels are obtained
through this.

11.  he Exxon Valdezoil spill was one of the most
publicized and studied environmental
tragedies in history 10.8 million oil tanks were
spilled.
 Animals died and many wildfires were created.
