Show transcript
A fossil fuel is a natural fuel formed from the remains of living things over millions of years.
The type of fossil depends on the original living thing and the amounts of heat and pressure.
Fossil fuels have been used increasingly since the 1800s for heating, transport and generating electricity.
Fossil fuels are non-renewable, as they cannot be replaced once they have been used up.
Burning fossil fuels creates carbon dioxide and tiny pieces of solid matter, such as soot.
