1 Energy and Fossil Fuels Section 4

2 Fossil Fuels Were made from materials that formed hundreds of millions of years ago. Coal, petroleum, and natural gas. The process of burning fuels is known as combustion.

3 Energy from the Sun Fossil Fuels contain energy that came from the sun. The energy is stored inside. Coal is made from decomposed animals and plants. Some of the chemical energy was trapped inside of it. Now we can burn the coal to release the energy.

4 Using Fossil Fuels

5 Use of fossil fuels

6 Questions 1. What are fossil Fuels? 2. What role did the sun play in making fossil Fuels? 3. How is chemical energy stored in coal released? What fossil fuel does the USA use the most? What fossil fuel does the USA use the least?
