What are fossil fuels?

• Dinosaur bones
• Resources made from once living organisms 
• Combination of different rocks
• Gas Stations

Why do we depend on fossil fuels? 

• Electricity, transportation, and heating
• Food
• Sunlight
• Growing, building muscle, calcium

How does coal form?

• Pressure builds in wetlands
• Pressure builds in trees
• Pressure builds in peat bogs
• Forms at the North Pole

How does petroleum form

• build up of layers of trees and leaves
• build up of once-living aquatic organisms underneath pressure and heat. 
• Build up of different rocks
• It's formed from gasses in the air

How does natural gas form? 

• lower pressures and temperatures
• the hydrosphere layer
• deepest sediment where there are higher pressures and temperatures 
• In the atmosphere 

Where did the energy for fossil fuels come from?

• Animals
• Plants
• Sun
• Chemosynthesis

Why is burning fossil fuels harmful? 

• then we won't have any fossil fuels if we burn them all
• They can get extremely hot
• Increases the amount of greenhouse gases in the air
• this would destroy fossils

What is a greenhouse gas?

• a gas created from a plant
• gas that causes the atmosphere to get warmer
• a green colored gas
