This powerpoint presentation discusses fossil fuels and energy usage around the world. It explores what fossil fuels are, how they are used differently worldwide, and provides data on energy consumption in various countries. The main sources of energy discussed are oil, gas, and coal, which are non-renewable fossil fuels derived from ancient organic remains. The presentation examines how fossil fuels are used for electricity, heating homes and making goods, and fuel for transportation. Country-level data shows energy usage varies significantly, with Australia, France, the UK and USA using the most, and Bangladesh, Kenya and India using the least.
