Because fossil fuels form from the remains of plants and animals, all fossil fuels contain carbon, too. Most of the carbon in fossil fuels exists as hydrocarbons, which are hydrogen-carbon compounds. Fossil fuels may exist as liquids, gases, or solids.Liquid Fossil Fuels: Petroleum A liquid mixture of complex hydrocarbon compounds is called petroleum.oal is a fossil fuel that forms underground from partially decomposed plant material. Coal was once the major source of energy in the United States. When fossil fuels, including coal, are burned, most of the energy released is heat.
Fossil fuels are formed by photosynthesis in anaerobic organisms and plants which used the Sun's energy to split carbon dioxide into carbon and oxygen. The age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.ossil fuels were formed from prehistoric plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. When these living things died, they decomposed and got buried under the layers of mud, rock and sand. Millions of years passed and the dead plants and animals slowly decomposed into organic material and fossil fuels.
