Question

Fossil fuels are formed over how many years?

  1. A Decade
  2. A Century
  3. Million years
  4. Billion years

hintHint:

Fossil fuels are created from the substances that make up plankton and plants after millions of years underground.

The correct answer is: Million years


    • Compound mixes of fossilized plants and animals remaining from millions of years ago make up fossil fuels. The kind of fossil, the quantity of heat, and the amount of pressure all affect whether oil, natural gas, or coal can be produced from these fossils.
    • Fuels are energy sources, and fossil fuels are no exception. Fossil fuels are powered by solar energy, which also powers photosynthesis, which transforms carbon dioxide and water into the fundamental constituents of prehistoric plants and animals.
    • Both plants and animals primarily need carbon and hydrogen atoms to form their bodies, and when they burn the fossilized hydrocarbon-type compounds, the energy they contain serves as fuel.
