Today, fossil fuels are used extensively to power up homes and as a source of fuel for vehicles, in industrial applications, at home for cooking and much more. The reserves of these resources are limited and are being consumed at a high rate which will make them deplete sooner than expected...
Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas, are created when organic matter decays and becomes compressed beneath layer upon layer of sand, earth, rock and ocean. Interestingly, the name “fossil fuel” is actually derived from the word “fossil”: the mineralised remai...

. These fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants[16]are formed by exposure to heat and pressure in the Earth׳s crust over millions of years[17], and the age of the organisms and hence the resulting fuels is many times older than 650 million years[18]. Fossil fuels ...
