Fossil Fuels and Future Energy: Understanding Our Resources

The video explains fossil fuels, including natural gas, coal, and oil, and their formation from prehistoric organisms. It covers their extraction, uses, and environmental impacts, such as pollution and climate change. The video also discusses the non-renewable nature of fossil fuels and the need for renewable energy alternatives like solar, wind, and geothermal power.

What are the three main types of fossil fuels mentioned in the video?

• Natural gas, coal, and oil

• Wood, coal, and oil

• Natural gas, wood, and oil

• Coal, oil, and solar

How are petroleum deposits formed according to the video?

• From chemical reactions in the atmosphere
