3. Different Types of Fossil Fuels Coal-made of nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and some types of sulfur Oil/Petroleum-Thought to be formed by the diatom, when died they were buried and rocks squeezed energy out of them Natural Gases- most made of carbon and hydrogen found mostly by oil underground Types:
4. Coal Formations Anthracite-hardest coal, has more carbon meaning more energy is given off Bituminous- in between the anthracite and Lignite formations Lignite-softest, has high hydrogen and oxygen content
5. What are Fossil Fuels Used For? Coal-bring energy to factories and buildings Oil/Petroleum- before used to treat things like frostbite. Also used to make things waterproof like canoes Natural Gases- used for cooking, heating,
6. What’s a Refinery? Where simple oil is prepared to be used to make it more useful Why is it important? Refineries help make oil into something useable. The oil can be made into gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil.
