oil and natural gas
...
Oil is a liquid fossil fuel that is formed from the remains of marine
microorganisms deposited on the sea floor
...
Oil is the most widely used fossil fuel
...
Like oil, it is formed from the remains of
marine microorganisms
...
When
fossil fuels are burned carbon and hydrogen react with oxygen in air
to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)
...
Sources
are deep earth layers and sinks are for example air and water, which
absorb fossil fuel waste products
...
Examples are greenhouse
gas accumulation, acidification, air pollution, water pollution,
damage to land surface and ground-level ozone
