What are fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels are nature’s pockets of pure energy. They are natural energy sources formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that were buried and subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years.

They are non-renewable resources, meaning they take millions of years to form and are being depleted faster than they can be replaced.
