a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]

measuring physical properties lab reportinstructions: in the physical properties lab, you will test the physical properties of different building materials in order to pick the appropriate materials for a new home in tiny world. record your observations and test measurements in the lab report below. youwill submit your completed report.name and title: lyric lawton, mr.herbert, 10/13/17, physical properties lab. objective(s): i need to parvus build his house out of the right material, so he will stay cool in the mountains.hypothesis: if we use wood to build the roof of the house, then the temperature inside the house will remain cooler.if we use clay brick to build the walls and floors of the house, then the temperature inside the house will remain cooler.if we use aluminium to bring electricity into the home, then it will allow electricity to flow into the home at a faster rate.if we use iron to construct the latches on the windows and doors, then the magnetism will keep the latches secure.
