Fossil Fuels - The Earth contains many resources which are not being replaced. These resources which are not being replaced are called non-renewable sources. Amongst the most non-renewable resources are the three fossil fuels - coal, petroleum and n..

Combustible materials that form due to the decomposition of animals and plants inside the Earth, under high temperature and pressure conditions are termed fossil fuels. Most fossil fuels decay and get converted into a combustible state, over many thousands o..

Fossil fuels include petroleum and coal. Burning of coal produces a lot of smoke and dust whereas burning of petrol mainly produces sulphur dioxide. In addition to these, the pollutants include carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), nitrogen oxides, hy..

It is believed that plants and animals that died due to various natural calamities like cyclones, floods, forest fires, earthquakes etc., got buried under soil sediments over a period of millions of years. The remnants of buried plant and animal matter (organic) got subjected to the action of ..

Meaning - Fossil fuels are energy-rich, combustible forms of carbon or compounds of carbon formed by the decomposition of biomass buried under the Earth over millions of year..

Fossil fuels, like, coal, lignite, petroleum and natural gas are non renewable natural resources. Both have an organic origin and are called hydrocarbon fuels. Coal was formed in nature as a solid from the remains of the trees buried deep inside th..

Fossil Fuels - Synthetic Petroleum and Synthetic Gas - In countries, where coal is easily available as compared to the rapidly depleting petroleum and natural gas, it is possible to avert the energy crisis by preparing petroleum and natural gas artificial..

Pollution caused due to Combustion of Fossil Fuels - With Man's ever increasing need for energy, he has been using fossil fuels indiscriminately. In the process, harmful materials contributing to air pollution are being produc..
