Come in Quietly and sit at your desk, open to your notes, write the new question, and wait quietly for class to begin.

How Do Fossil Fuels Form?All fossil fuels form from the buried

remains of ancient organisms.

How Do Fossil Fuels Form?Different types of fossil fuels form

in different ways and from different types of organisms.

Petroleum and natural gas form mainly from the remains of microscopic sea life.

How Do Fossil Fuels Form?

These remains became trapped and over millions of years, become petroleum and natural gas.

How Do Fossil Fuels Form?

These fossil fuels are then squeezed through permeable rock where it reservoirs for petroleum and natural gas.

How Do Fossil Fuels Form?

To obtain petroleum and gas engineers must drill wells into the reservoir rock.

How Do Fossil Fuels Form?

CoalCoal forms differently from petroleum

and natural gas. Coal forms from decayed swamp plants.

Stage 1: PeatBacteria and fungi transform sunken plants

into peat. Peat is about 60% carbon.

Stage 2: LigniteSediment and more sunken plants

bury the peat increasing the pressure on the peat and raising its temperature.

Stage 2: LigniteThis gradually turns the peat into

lignite, which is about 70% carbon.

Stage 3: Bituminous CoalThe temperature and pressure continue to

increase. Eventually lignite turns into bituminous coal, which is about 80% carbon.

Stage 4: AnthraciteWith more heat and pressure, bituminous

coal eventually turns into anthracite which is about 90% carbon.

2. What component of coal-forming organic material increases with each step of the formation?Response: The component that increases with each step of the coal-forming process is …

3. What is the difference between the organic material from which coal forms and the organic material from which petroleum and natural gas mainly form?Response: The difference between organic material from coal and petroleum is …

Objectives1. Classify the different forms of fossil fuels.

2. Determine how fossil fuels form.

3. Identify where fossil fuels are found in the United States.

4. Explain how fossil fuels are obtained.

5. Identify problems with fossil fuels.

6. List ways to deal with fossil-fuel problems

Title: Fossil FuelsStandard: 6.c. Students know the utility of energy sources is determined by factors that are involved in converting these sources to useful forms and the consequences of the conversion process.
