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, petro..

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 bu..

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 fossil ..
