How are fossil fuels formed?

• From the remains of dead plants and animals exposed to heat and pressure

• Through the process of evaporation

• By mixing water and soil

• From volcanic eruptions

How do coal, oil, and natural gas differ in their formation and composition?

• They all have the same composition and properties

• They are all formed from the same type of organic material

• They differ in their formation and composition based on the type of organic material and the conditions under which they were formed.

• The differences in their formation and composition are insignificant

Explain the concept of carbon footprint and its relation to fossil fuel usage.

• Fossil fuel usage has no impact on the environment

• The carbon footprint is the mark left by carbon on the ground

• The carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases produced directly and indirectly by human activities. Fossil fuel usage contributes to the carbon footprint as it releases carbon dioxide when burned, increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming.

• Carbon footprint is only related to plastic usage
