Fossil Fuels

خلاصه :

Fossil Fuels Fossil fuels are natural sources of energy that come from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. These remains were buried under the ground and changed slowly into fuels because of heat and pressure. The three main types of fossil fuels are coal, oil, and natural gas. Coal is a black rock that we can burn to make electricity. Oil is a thick liquid that we use to make petrol and diesel for cars. Natural gas is used for cooking and heating homes. Fossil fuels are very useful because they give us energy to run machines, cars, and factories. However, burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide (CO₂), a gas that causes air pollution and global warming. Because fossil fuels take millions of years to form, they cannot be replaced quickly. This means they are non-renewable resources. People around the world are now trying to use clean energy instead, like solar power, wind power, and hydropower, to protect our planet. Fossil fuels are important for our lives today, but we must use them carefully and look for better, greener energy sources for the future.
