Explain fossil fuels and how they are used?

Fossil fuels are Natural Resources formed from the decomposed remains of ancient plants and animals, buried and subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years. The main types include coal, oil, and natural gas, which are primarily used for energy production, heating, and powering vehicles. They are also utilized in the production of electricity, plastics, and various chemicals. Despite their widespread use, fossil fuels contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, prompting a shift toward renewable energy sources.
