Document Summary
A great deal of energy emanates from earth"s core, making. Sunlight drives photosynthesis and the growth of plants. When plants die and are preserved in sediments under particular. Gravitational pull of the moon and run results in energy. Protons and neutrons in atoms provides us with nuclear power. Most of our energy comes from the sun. The 3 fossil fuels we use widely today are oil, coal and natural gas (cid:1) Geothermal heating then acts on the kerogen to create crude oil and natural gas (cid:1) east (cid:1) country (cid:1) Fossil fuels are indeed fuels created from fossils . The fossil fuels we burn today were formed from the tissues of. The energy these fuels contain came originally from the sun and was. Fossil fuels are produced only when organic material is broken down. Over millions of years, organic matter that accumulates at the bottom. Oil, coal and natural gas are considered non-renewable, so is nuclear.
