Fossils can be an animal's bones, teeth, footprints, or even their poop! Fossils can be found all over the world and tell us a lot about what life was like long ago.  Fossil Fuels Fossil fuels are made from decomposing plants and animals. These fuels are found in Earth’s crust and contain carbon and hydrogen, which can be burned for energy.  Fossil Fuels Fossil is derived from the latin word 'Fossilis' which literary means 'dug up' It almost provide almost 90% of the world's energy supply. They are non- renewable resources, meaning there  Fossil Fuels Those remains of dead plants and animals long time ago were buried and fossilized in the earth's crust, thus this fuels are found beneath the earth's surface. It is composed mainly of high content of carbon and hydrogen, called hydrocarbons. Fossil fuels includes coal, oil (includes petroleum or crude oil) and natural gas.  Who studies fossils? Scientists called paleontologists study plant and animal fossils. Paleontologists use special tools to carefully uncover fossils from the ground so the fossils are not damaged. Paleontologists then study those fossils to figure out how old they are and where they came from. How are fossil fuels formed?  A long time ago, earth was covered with swamps filled with various microorganisms , trees, and other leafy plants. As these organiss ms and plamts died, they are drowned to the bottom of the swamps and oceans and formed layers of spongy material called peat. Over millions of years, the peat was covered with sand, clay, and other minerals that turned the peat into sedimentary rock.  fossils were formed depending on the combination of organic matter present, how long it was buried, what temperature, and the pressure occured while fossils were decomposing.  TYPES COAL OIL NATURAL GAS  NATURAL COAL OIL GAS  COAL Coal, one of the most important primary fossil fuels, a solid carbon-rich material that is usually brown or black and most often occurs in stratified sedimentary deposits.  OIL Oil. Crude oil, or petroleum (literally “rock oil” in Latin), is a liquid fossil fuel made up mostly of hydrocarbons (hydrogen and carbon compounds). Oil can be found in underground reservoirs; in the cracks, crevices, and pores of sedimentary rock; or in tar sands near the earth's surface.  NATURAL GAS Natural gas (also known as fossil gas, fracked gas, and simply, gas) is a fossil fuel: ancient plant material deposited in an oxygen- poor environment and cooked over millions of years by heat from the earth. The type of plant and the extent of the cooking determines whether the end product is coal, oil, or gas. How the coal helps humanity?  Energy Generation-Coal is a significant source of electricity, providing a stable and affordable energy supply that powers homes, businesses, and industries. Economic Contribution-The coal industry supports jobs in mining, transportation, and energy production, contributing to local and national economies, especially in coal-rich regions. Energy Security-Coal resources can enhance energy independence for countries that have significant coal reserves, reducing reliance on foreign energy sources.  Industrial Use-Beyond electricity, coal is used in steel production and other industrial processes, making it essential for manufacturing and infrastructure development. Affordable Energy-Historically, coal has provided a cost-effective energy option, helping to keep electricity prices lower for consumers and businesses. Technological Advancements-Innovations in clean coal technologies aim to reduce emissions and improve efficiency, contributing to a more sustainable use of coal. How the coal affects humanity?  Health Issues-Air pollutants from coal combustion contribute to respiratory illnesses, cardiovascular diseases, and increased mortality rates. Climate Change-Coal is a major source of carbon dioxide emissions, driving climate change, which results in extreme weather, rising sea levels, and disrupted ecosystems. Water Contamination-Mining and burning coal can lead to the release of heavy metals and toxins into water supplies, impacting drinking water quality and aquatic life.  Environmental Degradation-Coal mining, especially surface mining, destroys landscapes, leads to habitat loss, and contributes to soil erosion. Economic Burden-The healthcare costs related to coal pollution and the loss of productivity due to illness place a financial strain on communities and economies. How the oil helps humanity?  Energy Supply-Oil is a major source of energy, powering transportation (cars, trucks, planes) and providing heat and electricity. Economic Growth-The oil industry creates jobs, generates revenue, and supports many sectors of the economy. Manufacturing-It’s essential in the production of plastics, chemicals, fertilizers, and other industrial products.  Global Trade-Oil facilitates the transportation of goods worldwide, making global trade and supply chains efficient. Daily Products-Many everyday items, from cosmetics to electronics, rely on oil-derived materials. How the oil affects humanity?  Environmental Damage-Oil spills can cause severe harm to marine and terrestrial ecosystems, killing wildlife and destroying habitats. Climate Change-The burning of oil releases significant amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming. Air Pollution-Emissions from oil combustion can lead to smog and respiratory illnesses, affecting public health and air quality.  Resource Conflicts-Oil-rich regions often experience geopolitical tensions and conflicts, leading to instability and violence. Economic Vulnerability-Countries dependent on oil can suffer from economic fluctuations and crises when oil prices drop. Social Inequality-Oil wealth can lead to corruption and exacerbate social inequalities, with benefits often concentrated among a small How the gas helps humanity?  Energy Source-It serves as a major source of energy for heating, electricity generation, and cooking, often with lower emissions than coal or oil. Cleaner Fuel-Natural gas burns cleaner than other fossil fuels, producing less carbon dioxide and fewer pollutants, which can improve air quality. Economic Growth-The natural gas industry creates jobs and stimulates local economies through exploration, extraction, and infrastructure development.  Reliability-Natural gas plants can quickly adjust to changes in electricity demand, providing a reliable energy source during peak times. Transition Fuel-As a bridge between fossil fuels and renewable energy, natural gas can help reduce reliance on more harmful energy sources while transitioning to cleaner alternatives. Diverse Applications-Beyond energy, natural gas is used in manufacturing fertilizers, chemicals, and plastics, contributing to various industries. How the gas affects humanity?  Methane Emissions-Natural gas production and transport can result in methane leaks, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to climate change. Air Quality-Burning natural gas releases pollutants that can affect air quality, potentially leading to respiratory problems and other health issues. Water Contamination-Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) for natural gas can lead to the contamination of groundwater and surface water with chemicals.  Habitat Disruption-Gas extraction can disrupt local ecosystems and wildlife habitats, leading to biodiversity loss. Economic Instability-Like oil, economies heavily reliant on natural gas can be vulnerable to price fluctuations, impacting jobs and public services. Social Displacement-Gas extraction projects can lead to the displacement of communities and disruptions to local livelihoods. HOW FOSSIL FUELS EXACTLY HELPS US? HOW FOSSIL FUELS AFFECTS US NEGATIVELY? DO YOU AGREE THAT IF WE DO NOT USE FOSSILS WISELY, IT CAN AFFECT US?  WE HAVE LEARNED THAT IF FOSSILS ARE NOT USED WISELY, IT WOULD TAKE MILLIONS OF YEARS TO HAVE FOSSILS AGAIN.
