42. Forming Fossil Fuels: Coal
    Forming fossil fuels like coal requires very specific conditions and the conditions are different for each fuel type. One necessary condition the fuels share is the need for an

    Extractions: Coal is formed from plant matter. When a tree, for example, dies it begins to rot. The molecules of sugar that the plant has used to build itself are attached by oxygen from the air and broken down. This environment that the tree is decaying in is called an aerobic environment. All this means is that oxygen is available. Those sugar molecules are rings of five or six carbon atoms, and these rings are joined together to make strands. This is the source of the fibres we see in plants. The plant has to construct these rings and fibres. The sugar molecules are produced in a process called photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide , water and sunlight are combined to make sugar molecules. These sugar molecules therefore are a form of stored energy that the plant can use either as energy or as a building material in order to grow larger. This is a brief summary of the process:

    Extractions: Where Fossil Fuels Come From There are three major forms of fossil fuels: coal, oil and natural gas. All three were formed many hundreds millions of years ago, before and during the time of the dinosaurs hence the name fossil fuels. The age they were formed is called the Carboniferous period, getting its name from carbon the basic element in coal and other fossil fuels. When plants and other ancient creatures died, they decomposed and became buried, layer upon layer under the ground. It took millions of years to form these layers into a hard, black colored rock-like substance called coal, a thick liquid called oil or petroleum, and natural gas. Fossil fuels can be found under the earth in many locations around the country. In California, we have oil and natural gas resources.

    Extractions: A presentation by Osman Chughtai and David Shannon Introduction Formation Going back to the earlier days of Earth, the plants and animals that lived then eventually died and decomposed. The majority of these life forms were phytoplankton and zooplankton. When these ancient ocean dwellers died, they accumulated on the bottom of a seabed; this is how a good portion of our fossil fuel reserves began. The actual transformation process of these prehistoric creatures is not known, but scientists do know that the pressure, heat, and a great deal of time go into the making of fossil fuels. Geologists are fairly certain that the beds of organic remains mixed with silt and mud to form layers. Over time, mineral sedimentation formed on top of the organisms, effectively entombing them in rock. As this occurred, pressure and temperature increased. These conditions, and possibly other unknown factors, caused organic material to break down into the simpler form of hydrocarbons: chains of carbon and hydrogen ranging from simple configuration to complex compounds. Another affect of extreme pressure is that the oil and gas which are various mixtures of hydrocarbons, migrate upwards to the surface. Exactly when in the conversion process and the nature of this migration is not known and is subject to conjecture.

Wave Energy Energy Conservation: Energy Efficiency Fossil Fuels - Coal, Crude Oil, and Natural Gas Fossil fuels are fuels formed from the decomposition and compaction of plant and animal remains of the prehistoric age. Scientists believe these fuels date as far back as 300 million. The common fossil fuels are These fuels are buried far deep below the ground. A lot of effort is required first to discover where these fuels are buried (exploration) and secondly to "mine" or "dig out" or "pump out" these resources. They have been the World's main source of energy for centuries. They are burned in power plants to provide energy required to power the energy plants. However, due to concerns about the negative impact of these fuels on the environment, there is a recent shift towards using cleaner and renewable energy sources for the following reasons: Fossil fuels are DIRTY.

Of the fossil fuels coal, as we have seen, retained a commanding position throughout the first half of 20 th century, though world output after the First World War remained fairly static. If we look at individual countries, however, the situation is rather different: there were considerable differences in the uses to which coal was put and in the economics of its production. In some countries, such as Germany and Austria , the variety known as lignite was extensively mined. This is a brown coal, with a low calorific value, that is intermediate between peat and the hard black bituminous coals familiar in Britain . Again, not all coals are suitable for the manufacture of metallurgical coke, essential for steel-making. Thus a particular region may be rich in coal, but nevertheless have to import varieties to satisfy local requirements. As we shall see, a similar position pertains in the case of petroleum. Although the North Sea was to make
