Fossil Fuels By: Glizyl Luna
What are Fossil Fuels?
              They are natural
               substances made
               deep within the
               earth from the re-
               mains of ancient
               plants and animals.
               Over quite some
               time the heat
               turned these into
               fuels and when its
               burned it releases
               energy.
The Three Types of Fossil Fuels
   The three main types
    of fossil fuels are
    coal, oil, and natural
    gas.
    They all come from
    the underground in
    similar ways.
   The fossil fuels sup-
    ply about 90 percent
    of the world's energy

How is coal formed?
             Coal started out as a large
              fern and tree like plants that
              grew in swamps.
             Plants died and then piled
              up at the bottom of the wa-
              ter.
             They were buried under wa-
              ter and composed on by
              bacteria and the plants de-
              cayed into brown stuff called
              peat.
             The peat was covered with
              mud and sand which was
              smashed together to heat it
              up which squeezed out wa-
              ter and carbon.
Stages of Coal
   The layers of coal are
    formed called seams.
   Coal then will be
    mined out of the
    ground.
   Coal is estimated to
    last another 200
    years.
   It is also provides 27
    percent of the world's
    energy.
What is coal used for
              Coal is used for 40
               percent of the world's
               electricity.
              Electricity is made
               from plants when
               coal is burned to
               change water into
               steam and steam
               turns into turbine.
              Coal produces car-
               bon dioxide.
How is oil formed
            Oil was formed by tiny plants
                   and animals that were called
                   plankton
                  The plankton then died and
                   sank to the bottom of the
                   lakes and seas.
                  They also were buried under
                   layers of sand and mud.
                  They were then squeezed
                   together to turn into a hard
                   rock.
                  The bacteria then munched
                   the plankton which changed
                   into dark ooze.
               
What is oil used as a fossil fuel
                   Crayons
                   Bubble gum
                   Dish washing liquids
                   Eye glasses
                   Tires
How is natural gas formed
                Natural gas is formed
                 just like oil
                The planktons died
                 and sank in the lakes
                 and seas.
                The gas would be
                 drilled out of the
                 ground too.
                It is made up of
                 methane, butane,
                 propane, and ethane.
How is natural gas used as a fossil
               fuel
   Electricity
   steel
   gas
What are refineries and why are they
important to production of fossil fuels
                       Refineries are indus-
                        trial process plant
                        where crude oil is
                        processed into more
                        useful petroleum
                        products.
                       It is important to the
                        production of fossil
                        fuels because it helps
                        make plastic and
                        gasoline which are
                        necessities to our life.
Exxon Valdez
   It was an oil spill in
    Prince William
    Sound, Alaska
   On March 24,1989
   It was spilled there
    about an estimate of
    10.8 million US gal-
    lons.
   It was the largest oil
    spills in US waters
Deep Water Horizon oil catastrophe
                    The spill was on April
                     20,2010.
                    It was from the sea
                     floor of the Gulf of
                     Mexico.
                    This caused an ex-
                     plosion in the south-
                     east of Louisiana
                     coast.

Fossil fuels

  • 1. Fossil Fuels By: Glizyl Luna
  • 2. What are Fossil Fuels?  They are natural substances made deep within the earth from the re- mains of ancient plants and animals. Over quite some time the heat turned these into fuels and when its burned it releases energy.
  • 3. The Three Types of Fossil Fuels  The three main types of fossil fuels are coal, oil, and natural gas.  They all come from the underground in similar ways.  The fossil fuels sup- ply about 90 percent of the world's energy 
  • 4. How is coal formed?  Coal started out as a large fern and tree like plants that grew in swamps.  Plants died and then piled up at the bottom of the wa- ter.  They were buried under wa- ter and composed on by bacteria and the plants de- cayed into brown stuff called peat.  The peat was covered with mud and sand which was smashed together to heat it up which squeezed out wa- ter and carbon.
  • 5. Stages of Coal  The layers of coal are formed called seams.  Coal then will be mined out of the ground.  Coal is estimated to last another 200 years.  It is also provides 27 percent of the world's energy.
  • 6. What is coal used for  Coal is used for 40 percent of the world's electricity.  Electricity is made from plants when coal is burned to change water into steam and steam turns into turbine.  Coal produces car- bon dioxide.
  • 7. How is oil formed  Oil was formed by tiny plants and animals that were called plankton  The plankton then died and sank to the bottom of the lakes and seas.  They also were buried under layers of sand and mud.  They were then squeezed together to turn into a hard rock.  The bacteria then munched the plankton which changed into dark ooze. 
  • 8. What is oil used as a fossil fuel  Crayons  Bubble gum  Dish washing liquids  Eye glasses  Tires
  • 9. How is natural gas formed  Natural gas is formed just like oil  The planktons died and sank in the lakes and seas.  The gas would be drilled out of the ground too.  It is made up of methane, butane, propane, and ethane.
  • 10. How is natural gas used as a fossil fuel  Electricity  steel  gas
  • 11. What are refineries and why are they important to production of fossil fuels  Refineries are indus- trial process plant where crude oil is processed into more useful petroleum products.  It is important to the production of fossil fuels because it helps make plastic and gasoline which are necessities to our life.
  • 12. Exxon Valdez  It was an oil spill in Prince William Sound, Alaska  On March 24,1989  It was spilled there about an estimate of 10.8 million US gal- lons.  It was the largest oil spills in US waters
  • 13. Deep Water Horizon oil catastrophe  The spill was on April 20,2010.  It was from the sea floor of the Gulf of Mexico.  This caused an ex- plosion in the south- east of Louisiana coast. 
