natural fossil fuels

The composition of natural gas is chiefly methane (>90%) with traces of ethane and propan..

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 - 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 natura..

India produces only half of the national requirement of petroleum products and it imports the rest from other countries. Natural gas is the most popular petroleum product. During last two decades, the consumption of natural gas resources have increased tenfold. We need to save h..

Growing consumption and non renewablity fossil fuel necessitate the conservation of this natural resource of to help in this effort many measures have been advocated. 1) Use of oil should be minimized so as to save it for future use. Public transport should be used as..

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 ..

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..

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..

Fossil fuels are non-renewable and the source of their energy is Sun. The energy from Sun is trapped and stored as chemical energy in plants (and then transferred to animals) is ultimately released as heat and light energy by the fossil fuels on burnin..
