What are the Different Types of Fossil Fuels Used?
Fossil fuels account for a large percentage of the fuels used for energy consumption around the world. Much of the modern world operates by fossil fuels use. They are used in transportation, in electricity production, in powering homes and industries, and in the production of plastics and other derivatives. The history of fossil fuels goes back to many millions of years ago. Plants, animals and microorganisms that dwelt in those ancient times died, decomposed and became enmeshed in the soil. Layers of sediment settled over their decomposed organic remains and kept on accumulating as time went by, subjecting them to tremendous heat and pressure.
