Understanding Fossil Fuels: Formation, Uses, and Environmental Impact

Fossil fuels, formed over millions of years from plant and animal remains under extreme conditions, include coal, oil, and natural gas. These nonrenewable resources are integral in producing everyday products like ink, crayon, plastics, and electricity. However, the high demand for fossil fuels leads to elevated prices and significant environmental issues, such as air and water pollution, land degradation, and global climate change. Exploring eco-friendly alternatives like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power, as well as promoting sustainable practices like carpooling and using reusable bags, can mitigate these effects.

  2. What Are Fossil Fuels? • Formed in the earth from plant or animal remains. • Millions of years to develop under extreme conditions. • Matter formed is coal, oil, and natural gas. • Nonrenewable resources

  3. What Products Are Made From Fossil Fuels? • Ink • Crayons • Bubble Gum • Artificial Silk • Synthetic Rubber Materials • Coke • Insulation • Batteries • Disinfectants • Paint Thinner • Insecticides • Coal Tar • Vaseline • Plastics • Electricity • Fuel for Transportation • Cooling and Heating • Clothes • Fertilizers

  4. So What?

  5. Diminishing Supply • The want/demand for fossil fuels is high. • They are used to make so many products. • Millions of years to develop under extreme conditions.

  6. $$Money$$ • Demand for fossil fuels is high, which makes the price of fossil fuels high. • Costs for us to retrieve them from the ground. • Costs to get fossil fuels from other countries, which makes the price go up even more.

  7. Pollution/Trash • Air Pollution • Water Pollution • Accumulation of Solid Waste • Land Degradation • Human Illnesses • Global Climate Change • Acid Rain • Ozone Problems • Plastics (bags, bottles, toys, ect)

  8. Alternatives • Eco-Friendly Bags • Paper Bags • Wind Energy • Solar Power • Hydroelectric Power • Geothermal Power • Ocean Power • Water Filters • You can car pool to work or school. • You can walk to school, store, to get your mail.

  9. The End
