2 FOSSIL FUELS A hydrocarbonated deposite,such as petroleum,coal,or natural gas derived from living matter of a previous gologic time and used for fuel A hydrocarbonated deposite,such as petroleum,coal,or natural gas derived from living matter of a previous gologic time and used for fuel

3 Are fossil fuels non-renewable Fossil is non-renewable because it takes years to form, and reserves are being depleted much faster than new ones are being made. Fossil is non-renewable because it takes years to form, and reserves are being depleted much faster than new ones are being made.

4 How does Fossil Fuel turn into Electrical Energy The air is making the Pulverized Coal that makes the boiler work making it turn into steam. Combustion gases go up the stack. The steam goes to the steam turbine to make the generator work and make electricity. The air is making the Pulverized Coal that makes the boiler work making it turn into steam.

5 Disadvantages Pollution is a major disadvantage of fossil fuels. This is because they give off carbon dioxide when burned thereby causing a green house effect. Pollution is a major disadvantage of fossil fuels. This is because they give off carbon dioxide when burned thereby causing a green house effect. Coal also produces carbon dioxide when burned compared to burning oil or gas. Additionally, it gives off sulphur dioxide, a kind of gas that creates acid rain. Coal also produces carbon dioxide when burned compared to burning oil or gas. Additionally, it gives off sulphur dioxide, a kind of gas that creates acid rain. Environmentally, the mining of coal results in destruction of wide areas of land. Mining this fossil fuel is also difficult and may endanger the lives of miners. Coal mining is consider one of the most dangerous job in the world. Environmentally, the mining of coal results in destruction of wide areas of land.

Use of natural gas can cause unpleasant odors and some problems especially with transportation Use of natural gas can cause unpleasant odors and some problems especially with transportation

6 Advantages A major advantage is their capacity to generate huge amounts of electricity in just in a single location.

When coal is used in power plants, it is very cost effective. Coal is also in abundant supply. When coal is used in power plants, it is very cost effective. Coal is also in abundant supply. Power plants that utilize gas are very efficient. Power plants that utilize gas are very efficient.
