Fossil Fuels: Rape of Nature {Student name here} {Class name here} {Professor Name here} {Due Date} Fossil Fuels‚ which include coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas‚ are a non-renewable energy source that were formed from the decomposition of plants and animals that were deposited in the Earth around 300 million years ago. These fossil fuels‚ after being removed from the Earth‚ are converted into energy and this energy is essential to modern society (Chughtai & Shannon‚ 1998). Over 85 percent

The Fossil Fuels Introduction Fossil Fuels are a non-renewable energy source. They are found in Earth’s depositions made over millions and millions years ago and are called non-renewable because they can’t be used again once they are spent. There are three major forms of fossil fuels: coal‚ oil and natural gas. COAL Coal is made up of carbon‚ oxygen‚ hydrogen‚ nitrogen and some amounts of sulphur -Three main types of coal: • Anthracite : the hardest and has the most carbon in

THE DEPLETION OF FOSSIL FUELS By Zoe Noonan Introduction As the world is becoming more advanced in technology‚ more energy is being used to keep up with the changing requirements. At the current rate at which energy is being used‚ the world will shortly come to an end of fossil fuels- the world’s primary energy resource. Abstract This research paper outlines the problems being faced by the shortage of fossil fuels‚ the effects they are having on the environment and the possible substitutes

Fossil Fuels which include Petroleum and Natural Gas were formed million years ago from the remains of plants and animals‚ are responsible 40% and 20% respectively for the world ’s energy. They were first discovered about 700-900 years ago‚ however since the first modern petroleum industry began in 1859‚ the demand for fossil fuels has escalated beyond our control. It had taken 50-300 million years to form‚ and yet we have managed to burn roughly half of all global oil reserves in merely 125 years

Informative speech on automobile safety Informative Speech Outline Intro Automobiles! You just have to have one in this fast paced world! In the United States‚ or maybe just in a popular city such as Los Angeles or New York‚ automobiles are necessary. People need to move from point A to point B. These points can be as close as a few hundred feet or even range up to a few hundred miles! When making these trips safety is a priority. There are hundreds of thousands of automobiles on the roads across

Alternative Fuels for Cars Automobiles are considered one of the largest contributors to climate change – only preceded by the effect of fossil fuel power generation plants [1]. This means that the automobile industry is under a lot of pressure to cut down on carbon emissions globally by finding alternative fuels for cars. Moreover‚ as we approach peak oil [2]‚ the availability of conventional automobile fuels will reduce drastically causing an exponential rise in fuel prices [2]‚ a fact that

Ethanol‚ a Fuel? Ethanol fuel is a type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages that is often made from common agricultural products. It is either mass-produced by fermentation of sugars or from cellulose. Wheat or corn kernels are ground in a hammer-mill to expose the starch‚ the ground grain is then mixed with water‚ heated briefly and enzymes are added to convert the starch to sugar using a chemical reaction called hydrolysis. Yeast is added to ferment the sugars to ethanol and finally the
