Combustibles fossiles

Combustible materials derived from the long-term decomposition of organic matter. Fossil fuels comprise coal, oil, and natural gas. The fuels are rich in carbon and high in energy content. Other minor [..]

Carbon-rich fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) formed from the remains of ancient animals and plants. Their combustion is considered to contribute to the 'greenhouse effect'.

Fossil fuels are the petrified (that means old not scared!!) remains of ancient plant and animal matter. Organic matter was compressed and heated in the eath's crust over geological time to form [..]

Organic substances, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, found underground in deposits formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants and animals. These irreplaceable fuels are used as an energy sou [..]

coal, petroleum and natural gas.

Non-renewable fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas, formed through the decomposition of dead organisms over millions of years.

Carbon-rich deposits in the Earth, such as petroleum (oil), coal, or natural gas, derived from the remains of ancient plants and animals and used for fuel. These are non-renewable resources with a finite supply. They are pollutive, but are so commonly used due to their traditionally low costs.

fossil fuels include coal, oil and natural gas. They currently provide more than 85% of all the energy consumed in the United States, nearly two-thirds of the electricity, and virtually all of the cou [..]

Carbon-based fuels from fossil hydrocarbon deposits, including coal, peat, oil and natural gas.

All fuels derived from the fossilisation of previously living organisms. Examples include: coal; oil; natural gas. Due to the long-time scales in their formation (thousands to billions of years) fossil fuels are effectively regarded as being non-renewable over human lifetimes.

Primary sources of energy including: coal, natural gas and oil that are used to create heat and electricity. They are not renewable sources and cause harmful emissions through the energy creation proc [..]

Energy sources formed by the decay of plants, dinosaurs and other animals over millions of years; coal, oil and natural gas are fossil fuels. Fuel: Any material that can be burned to make energy. Geothermal energy: Using the heat from the earth to produce power. Hydropower: Using the energy in flowing water to make electricity. Kilowatt (kW): 1000 [..]

Fuel made from the compressed remains of ancient animals and plants. It includes coal, gasoline, natural gas and diesel fuel. These fuels are non-renewable forms of energy (i.e. once they are used they can never be replaced).

Energy source formed by decaying organic material (plant and animal matter) within the earth’s crust. Common fossil fuels are oils, coal, and natural gas.

Any naturally occurring fuel of an organic nature formed by the decomposition of plants or animals; includes coal, natural gas, and petroleum.

Coal, oil, peat, and natural gas.

Natural resources (e.g. coal, oil, natural gas) containing hydrocarbons. These are formed in the Earth over millions of years and release carbon dioxide when burnt.

Fossil fuels consist of plants and parts of plants which sank into the earth's crust millions of years ago and were transformed into fossil material (coal, gas and oil). Fossil fuels are an example of stored resources. When fossil fuels are burnt, carbon dioxide is produced, among other things. As this carbon is not a natural part of the biolo [..]

are the fuels formed eons ago from decayed plants and animals. Oil, coal and natural gas are such fuels.

such as coal, oil, and natural gas are so-called because they are the remains of ancient plant and animal life.

Fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal that are made from decayed plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. These fuels are made of hydrogen and carbon (hydrocarbons).

Any combustible hydrocarbon deposit formed from the remains of prehistoric organisms. Examples are Petroleum, Coal, and Natural Gas.

Fuels – such as coal, gas, peat and oil – that are formed in the ground over a long time from dead plants and animals and are used up once they are burned for energy.

Any hydrocarbon deposit that may be used for fuel. Examples are petroleum, coal, and natural gas.

Or mineral fuels are found within the top layer of the Earth's crust and include coal and crude oil. Fossil fuels are natural resource (made by nature) and exist in fixed amounts.

These are an fianite resources made from dead plants and animals subjected to the correct heat and pressure over millions of years. Crude oil, coal and natural gas are all fossil fuels. Humans are usi [..]

Any naturally occurring organic fuel formed in the Earth’s crust, such as petroleum, coal and natural gas.

Fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas; so-called because they are the remains of ancient plant and animal life.

There are coal, crude oils, oil shales, tar sands and natural gases such as butane, ethane, methane which occur naturally from the decomposition of plant and sea and land organisms over millions of ye [..]

Fossil fuels are formed from the remains of ancient plant and animal life and include coal, oil, natural gas and their derivatives.

Fossil Fuels are the world’s primary energy source. The burning of these fuels (such as Natural Gas, Oil and Coal) to create energy is the primary driver of the global climate change currently affecti [..]

coal, oil, and natural gas; so–called because they are the remains of ancient plant and animal life

Fuels that originate from the remains of living things, such as coal, oil, natural gas, and peat.

Fuels such as coal, oil and gas which have been formed from the decomposition of ancient plant and animal matter.

Coal, oil, and natural gas are known as fossil fuels because they were formed from the fossilized remains of animals or plants that lived long ago.

 fossil fuels or mineral fuels are fuel sources derived from fossils, or hydrocarbons found within the top layer of the Earth’s crust. Examples include coal, petroleum, and methane. Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources because they take millions of years to form, and fossil fuel reserves are being depleted much faster than new ones could ever b [..]

Coal, oil and natural gas. They are derived from the remains of decayed plant and animal life.

 fuels derived from fossilised organic matter such as coal, oil and petroleum . fugitive emissions:

Fuels (oil, coal, and natural gas) that resulted from the decomposition of plant and animal matter that lived millions of years ago.

fuels derived from the fossilized remains of plants and animals, mainly coal, petroleum and natural gas – all are non-renewable resources.
