Fossil Fuel Formation

How were fossil fuels created?

• When the dinosaurs dissapeared

• When remains of plants, and animals decayed and were buried in layers and layers of minerals

What factors are necessary for fossil fuel formation?

• Organic matter, temperature, time and heat, and pressure conditions.

• Time is not necessary for fossil fuels to form.

Which are the types fo fossil fuels?

• Coal, oil, and the peat.

• Coal, natural gas and hydrogen

• Oil, natural gas, and nitrogen.

• Natural gas, oil and coal

How is coal formed?

• When all the sediments layers buried the coal

• When remains of plants and trees decayed and were buried for million of years under heat and pressure conditions for millions of years.

How does oil form?

• When algae, aquatic animals (plankton), and heat and pressure conditions took placeover millions of years..

• When cementation and deposition pressed down.

   

What the difference between oil formation and natural gas formation?

• There is no difference between the two, they have a different process of formation.

• The difference is that oil is similar to coal.

• The difference is that Natural gas requires much more heat and pressure than oil. Bothe are formed  by the same plankton and algae.

True or false: Fossil fuels are very useful and are found in many products we used every day.

• False

• True

Are fossil fuel renewable resources?

• No, They are non-renewable resources.

   

• Yes

What can we do if fossil fuels run out?

• We can look for other alternatives such as solar energy, wind energy, biomass, geothermal, etc.

• We will never run out of fossil fuels

• There is not much we can do, humans don't have control over this situation.
