Forming Of Fossil Fuels

• Fossil fuel is a general term for buried combustible geologic deposits of organic materials, formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years.
• Buried combustible geologic deposits made of organic materials.
• Formed from decayed plants and animals
• Donisaurs play a huge role in fssil fuels

How do we distribute

• We distribute electricity through electric power distribution sysytems
• We distribute crude oil and petroleum through ships, and pipelines.
• Power lines distribute electricity across land.

Why should we conserve

• A large amount of energy supplies are set to a limited amount and are non renewable.
• Collecting and using energy cost money.
• Because mom will yell at me if I leave the lights on

Coal

• We obtain coal through a process involving the mining of underground seams
• A seam is a layer of ore or coal that is thick enough to be profitably mined

Oil

• Oil is found underground as fluid in layers of porous rock
• oil is often found mixed with gas
• the gas and oil mixture is called petrolium

Natural gas

• Natural gas is obtained by drilling
• The drilling reaches gas deposits in the ground.

Nuclear

• Nuclear power plants split the atoms of Uranium
• Uranium is the element that is the main providing source of nuclear energy
• The physical process in which this event takes place is called fission.

Legality of free-mining

• In the United States, the land owner owns all land on surface and below to an unlimited depth
