1 Glassdoor's report lists data scientist as one of the highest-paying tech jobs, but puts the average base salary at closer to $105K. 2  Some of the discrepancy may be due to the level of position.
Fossil fuels are basically any carbon based substance that is used by mankind as a source of energy. They are called fossil fuels because they usually are formed from the remains of dead animals and other organisms. The normal process that forms fossil fuels is pretty straight forward. An animal or plant dies and its remains are covered by sediment over time.
The most common fossil fuels are coal, oil, and natural gas. Peat, a very young form of coal, and oil shale are types of fossil fuel.hese fuels were formed millions of years ago from plants and animals that died and decomposed beneath tons of soil and rock. These fossil fuels are not fossils like the bones of prehistoric creatures.
