Fossil fuel | Meaning, Types, & Uses | Britannica
Fossil fuel is a hydrocarbon-containing material of biological origin that can be burned for energy. Fossil fuels, which include coal, petroleum, and natural gas, supply the majority of all energy consumed in industrially developed countries.

Fossil fuel - Wikipedia
A fossil fuel [a] is a carbon compound- or hydrocarbon-containing material [2] formed naturally in the Earth's crust from the buried remains of prehistoric organisms (animals, plants or planktons), a process that occurs within geological formations.

Fossil - Department of Energy
Fossil energy sources, including oil, coal and natural gas, are non-renewable resources that formed when prehistoric plants and animals died and were gradually buried by layers of rock. Over millions of years, different types of fossil fuels formed -- depending on what combination of organic matter was present, how long it was buried and what ...

Fossil Fuel Examples and Uses - Science Notes and Projects
Fossil fuels are natural fuels formed by the decomposition, heating, and pressurization of buried phytoplankton and zooplankton (not dinosaurs). It is called “fossil” fuel because it’s found buried in the ground, not because it contains fossils. Like wood and biodiesel, fossil fuels are rich in carbon.

What Are Fossil Fuels? | Definition, Importance, Types, & Impacts
Fossil fuel is a hydrocarbon-containing decomposed material formed underground from the remains of dead plants and animals millions of years ago that is burned to release energy for use.

Fossil fuels—facts and information - National Geographic
What Are Fossil Fuels? Learn how human use of fossil fuels—non-renewable energy sources, such as coal, oil, and natural gas—affect climate change.

Fossil Fuels - Types, Uses, Advantages & Disadvantages - BYJU'S
Fossil fuel is a fuel formed by the anaerobic decomposition of dead organisms. Explore the types, advantages and disadvantages of fossil fuels only @ BYJU'S.

Fossil Fuels - National Geographic Society
Fossil fuels are made from decomposing plants and animals. These fuels are found in Earth’s crust and contain carbon and hydrogen, which can be burned for energy. Coal, oil, and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels.

Introduction to Fossil Fuels - Understand Energy Learning Hub
Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons formed from deeply-buried, dead organic material subject to high temperature and pressure for hundreds of millions of years. They are a depletable, non-renewable energy resource.

Fossil fuel - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fossil fuels are fuels that come from old life forms that decomposed over a long period of time. The three most important fossil fuels are coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Petroleum and gas are hydrocarbons (molecules that have only hydrogen and carbon in them). Coal is mostly carbon.
