Q

How are fossil fuels formed?

A

Millions of years ago dead organisms settled on the bottom of porous rocks. Sand sediments impermeable rock settled on organic matter trapping carbon energy in porous rocks formed pockets of oil coal and gas.
Earth movements, rock shifts create spaces that forced to collect these energy types into well defined areas

Q

Electrical energy

A

Battery transfers stored energy charged particles, electrons, through wire. Thunderclouds: static electricity

17
Q

Gravitational energy

A

Stored in the height of an object you get potential energy when an object standstill and then you get gravitational energy when the object moves down.

18
Q

What is the law of energy?

A

Energy can be stored or transferred from object to object or place to place.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed but it can be converted from one to another
