SAQ-1: What is the importance of fossil fuel to human?
 Before even humans discover fuel or oil, there were no source of power at all,
in fact there were no factories, and any sorts of transportation that we used
today like cars or trains, and when the time man discovered coal they invented
steam powered train and after they found other fossil fuel which is gas and oil,
man invented cars that uses diesels. But fossil fuels are not only use for
transport but for cooking also, LPG and others so without this source of
energy, humans are hopeless but not so hopeless because nowadays we used
electricity and even uses electricity for transportation and also cooking but we
still need fossil fuels because fossil fuels is more sufficient.
SAQ-2: How does fossil fuel formed?
 Well fossil fuel isn’t possible without nature and time, all fossil fuels form
through a natural process like coals formed because many plants died in
swamps millions of years ago and even before the dinosaur era and because of
nature and time, after the plants died and buried by dirt for over millions of
years, heat and pressure turned the dead plants into coal and gas and oil form
because many marine animals and sea plants died and same with coal they
were buried for over millions of years and heat and pressure turned them into
oil and gas.
