What is fossil fuel?

Fossil fuels are natural substances made deep in the earth from the remains of the ancient plants and animals. Heat and pressure turns decomposing remains into fuels. The fossil fuels are oil, natural gas, petroleum and coal.

How it starts
This

all stars from sunlight. Sunlight gives potential energy to the plants from which fruits and vegetables grow.

Second step
Animals

- Then we and the animals eat the food using kinetic energy converting to chemical potential energy. Plants - The plants grows using kinetic energy taking potential energy from the sunlight, air and water.

Third step
Animals

We and the animals grow using kinetic energy taking chemical potential energy from the food we eat. Plants - The plants die, but still some potential energy is left.

Fourth step
Animals

Animals die but still some potential energy is left. After many years the animals decompose to fossil fuel. Plants After many years the plants decompose to fossil fuel.

Now the Fossil Fuels are been used (1stfossil fuels are been used to generate step) The

electricity. The coal is put in a machine called pulverize. Which uses kinetic energy to crush the coal to a fine dust. The coal gets potential energy when it is been crushed.

2nd step
The

pulverized coal is transferred to a machine called Furnace. The furnace is surrounded with tubes filled with water. The furnace burns the coal using kinetic energy. The coal starts heating up using its potential energy.

3rd step
The

intensity from the burning coal heats the water by using kinetic energy. The water turns into steam getting chemical potential energy from the heat.

4th step
The

stem is transferred under pressure and high speed through large pipe to a machine called turbines by using kinetic energy. The steam gets more potential energy.

5th step
The

turbine is connected to a generator that contains the roller. Large electro magnets are attached to the roller the is located with copper wires. As the generated roller spines using kinetic energy, a flow of electrons are created in the stir. This produces
