Conventional Source of Energy: Fossil Fuels

The video tutorial explains the types and formation of fossil fuels, including coal, petroleum, and natural gas. It details the processes of coal formation from dead plants and the formation of oil and natural gas from plankton. The video also covers the extraction methods for these fuels, such as surface and underground mining for coal and drilling for oil and gas. Finally, it describes the processing of fossil fuels to obtain various useful products.
