Fossil Fuels:
Coal and Oil
How they are formed:
Coal is formed from big plants, from a long time ago. When the big plants died, they formed layers at the bottom of swamps and the dirt began to pile up and it formed Coal.
Oil is a fossil fuel that has been formed from a large amount tiny plants and animals such as algae and zooplankton.
The curved surface of water is called the meniscus

<span><span>Fuel Extraction and Production – Water is a critical resource for the drilling and mining of natural gas, coal, oil, and uranium. In many cases, fuel extraction also produces wastewater, as with natural gas and oil wells and coal slurry ponds.

Fuel Refining and Processing – Oil, uranium, and natural gas all require refining before they can be used as fuels – a process that uses substantial amounts of water.

Fuel Transportation – Water is used to transport coal through slurries — pipelines of finely ground coal mixed with water — and to test energy pipelines for leaks.[1]</span><span>Emissions Control – Many thermoelectric power plants emit sulfur, mercury, particulates, carbon dioxide, and other pollutants, and require pollution control technologies. These technologies also require significant amounts of water to operate.</span></span>
