Explain the role of heat and pressure in the formation of fossil fuels.

• Fossil fuels are created by the decomposition of inorganic materials

• Heat and pressure have no effect on the formation of fossil fuels

• Heat and pressure cause the organic matter to undergo chemical changes, leading to the formation of fossil fuels.

• Fossil fuels are formed by the action of water and sunlight

What are the by-products of burning fossil fuels?

• Oxygen, water vapor, and methane

• Carbon monoxide, lead, and mercury

• Hydrogen, helium, and neon

• Carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter

How do fossil fuels contribute to climate change?

• Fossil fuels contribute to climate change by reducing the temperature of the Earth's surface.

• Fossil fuels contribute to climate change by releasing greenhouse gases when burned.

• Fossil fuels contribute to climate change by promoting the growth of forests and vegetation.

• Fossil fuels contribute to climate change by absorbing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
