    Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas are formed over millions of years through the natural decomposition of buried plant and animal matter. Coal forms when plants die and their remains are buried and subjected to heat and pressure over long periods of time. Similarly, oil and gas form from the remains of marine plants and animals that sink to the ocean floor, become buried and compressed. Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources that have been crucial to powering transportation, industry, and other aspects of modern human civilization since their widespread use replaced firewood and other biofuels.

    Week 4.1
    SAQ-1: What is the importance of fossil fuel to human?
     Before even humans discover fuel or oil, there were no source of power at all,
    in fact there were no factories, and any sorts of transportation that we used
    today like cars or trains, and when the time man discovered coal they invented
    steam powered train and after they found other fossil fuel which is gas and oil,
    man invented cars that uses diesels. But fossil fuels are not only use for
    transport but for cooking also, LPG and others so without this source of
    energy, humans are hopeless but not so hopeless because nowadays we used
    electricity and even uses electricity for transportation and also cooking but we
    still need fossil fuels because fossil fuels is more sufficient.
    SAQ-2: How does fossil fuel formed?
     Well fossil fuel isn’t possible without nature and time, all fossil fuels form
    through a natural process like coals formed because many plants died in
    swamps millions of years ago and even before the dinosaur era and because of
    nature and time, after the plants died and buried by dirt for over millions of
    years, heat and pressure turned the dead plants into coal and gas and oil form
    because many marine animals and sea plants died and same with coal they
    were buried for over millions of years and heat and pressure turned them into
    oil and gas.
