EFFECT OF FOSSIL FUELS ON THE ENVIRONMENT Fossil fuels are fuels formed by natural processes such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms. The age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years‚ and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[4] Fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include coal‚petroleum‚ and natural gas.[5] They range from volatile materials with lowcarbon:hydrogen ratios like methane‚ to liquid petroleum to nonvolatile materials
