Question 6

What are fossil fuels? Why are they also known as energy minerals?

Answer

Fossil fuels are formed from the dead and decomposed remains of plants and animals. Coal, petroleum and natural gas are the examples of 'fossil fuels'. These are energy minerals because energy can be generated from these.
