化石能源是一种碳氢化合物或其衍生物。它由古代生物的化石沉积而来,是一次能源。化石燃料不完全燃烧后,都会散发出有毒的气体,却是人类必不可少的燃料。化石能源所包含的天然资源有煤炭、石油和天然气。石油和天然气都是来自于数百万年前海底、湖底大量浮游植物和浮游动物有机物残骸的厌氧消化而成。随着地质年代变迁,这些有机化合物同泥土混合,被埋藏在层层的沉积物之下。由于极高的热量和压强条件下,有机物质发生 Fossil energy is a hydrocarbon or its derivatives. It is deposited from fossils of ancient creatures and is an energy source. After incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, it will emit toxic gases, but it is an essential fuel for mankind. The natural resources contained in fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas. Both oil and gas come from the anaerobic digestion of the seafloor millions of years ago, large quantities of phytoplankton and organism debris from zooplankton. As geological ages change, these organic compounds mix with soil and are buried under layers of sediments. Organic matter occurs due to extreme heat and pressure conditions
