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.
Fossil fuels are made from the remains of ancient organisms that were buried under many layers of sediment millions of years ago. With increased heat and pressure, fossils are turned into fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are found in sedimentary rock, which is often located beneath a body or former body of water such as an ocean or swamp. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources that include oil, natural gas, and coal.
