Fossil Fuels
Holly Mannering
The burning of fossil fuels is an efficient way of making energy. We produce energy by pumping oil from the ground or mining coal and other minerals from underground. But, the burning of fossil fuels may increase the green house effect. .
Coal was deposited over 300 million years ago. The types of coal are: lignite, cannel coal, bituminous, anthracite, and peat! Use of follsil fuels can be dated back to at least when Marco Polo saw people burning "black stones" in China
People need fossil fuels but we need to be wise on how we use them!
