The use of fossil fuels has been the subject of intense debate and discussion in recent years. They have long been the primary supply of energy to industries, homes and transport. However, despite their importance, many people do not know what fossil fuels are and why they became such a vital source of energy.
How They Are Created
The main types used are gas, coal and oil. They are referred to as fossil fuels because they are formed from the remains of prehistoric plants and animals. Gas and oil are formed from organisms that settled on the sea floor millions of years ago. The organisms were eventually covered deep in piles of mud and sediment, exposing them to high levels of heat and pressure. Over millions of years this causes the organisms to chemically alter and, when sourced, they become oil and gas. Coal goes through a similar process, but it is formed by prehistoric vegetation on land (typically in swampy environments).
