Petroleum is formed when algae and zooplankton die and sink in anoxic conditions to be buried on the ocean floor without being decomposed by aerobic bacteria, and only a tiny amount of the world's deposits of coal contain dinosaur fossils; the vast majority of coal is fossilized plant matter.
Carbon-based fuel is any fuel principally from the oxidation or burning of carbon.Carbon-based fuels are of two main kinds, biofuels and fossil fuels.Whereas biofuels are derived from recent-growth organic matter [1] and are typically harvested, as with logging of forests and cutting of corn, fossil fuels are of prehistoric origin [2] and are extracted from the ground, the principal fossil ...
