Tag: solar energy and its applications

Answer is A.

It is because they are actually fossils. They are made of dead and decay matter buried under the earth for many years. The dead and decaying matter under great amount of pressure and temperatures turn into fossils and they both are used as fuels so it is called fossil fuels.
The fossil fuels we use today are actually formed from plants and animals that existed hundreds of millions of years ago. The reason there is a lot of concern surrounding the expenditure of these resources is because most of what we use today from fossil fuels, such as oil and coal are being depleted much faster than they can be formed, so there is a limited amount available.
Hence, the statement is true.

Fossil fuels are formed when plants and marine species are buried below ground and are subjected to immense pressure and temperature for thousands of years. Examples include coal, petroleum and natural gas.

Sound is considered as a form of energy because it obeys the First Law of Thermodynamics which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it changes from one form to another. Sound energy is produced when an object vibrates. The sound vibrations cause waves of pressure that travel through a medium, such as air, water, wood or metal. Sound energy is a form of mechanical energy.

Fuels that burns without smoke are also termed as smokeless fuels. Smokeless fuels include charcoal, liquid petroleum, biogas, coke and anthracite.
