Detailed explanation-1: -Fossil fuels are made from decomposing plants and animals. These fuels are found in the Earth’s crust and contain carbon and hydrogen, which can be burned for energy. Coal, oil, and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels.

Detailed explanation-2: -Years ago, when prehistoric animals and plants died, layers of rock and dirt gradually buried them. Over millions of years, heat and pressure from Earth’s crust decomposed these organisms into one of the three main kinds of fuel: oil (also called petroleum), natural gas, or coal.

Detailed explanation-3: -fossil fuel Generated from the decomposition of ancient plant and animal matter over millions of years. Coal, oil, and natural gas are fossil fuels.

Detailed explanation-4: -Petroleum, also called crude oil, is a fossil fuel. Like coal and natural gas, petroleum was formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms, such as plants, algae, and bacteria.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
