 FOSSIL FUELS
• Hydrocarbon containing materials
• Found in the earth’s crust
• Formed from the remains of ancient plants &
animals buried deep inside the earth for millions of
years.
• Subjected to
tremendous
heat & pressure
over the years.
TYPES OF FOSSIL FUELS
 Nuclear Energy
A handful of Uranium can make electricity
as much as 7 train cars loaded with coal.
But Uranium is a non
renewable resource and
will eventually run out.
 BIOMASS ENERGY
