There are three types of fossil fuels: Oil, coal and gas.

Let's look into their formation one by one:

Oil: Dead plankton such as microorganisms and plants was buried under the sea million years ago, it accumulate over time to become oil, also known as petroleum,

Coal: Plants were dead and broken down by bacteria over time, carbon dioxide and methane were produced. After million years, the dead flora accumulated to become peat and undergone compaction, becoming coal.

Gas: This is formed along oil, and again produced by dead organisms. It is mostly formed during decomposition, and mostly made up of methane.

Answer:

1013.25 millibars

Explanation:

The standard atmospheric pressure that is measured formthe sea levels to the surface to the high altitudes of the earth is the 1013.25 millibar or is 17 pounds per inches as the air over the higher altitudes is more sensitive and it's measured in pascal.

<u>And are a function of the plant's mass and the radius of the surface and the amount of the distribution of the gases and the vertical distribution of the air. And hence is calculated by the values that are reduced to the mean sea levels. </u>

Sea level can rise in response to ______.

cupoosta [38]

sea level can rise in response to thermal expansion, atmospheric pressure changes, changes in sea ice extent.

<h3>What happens if sea levels rise?</h3>

The main physical effects of sea level rise are beach erosion, inundation of deltas, flooding, and the loss of numerous marshes and wetlands. As a result of saltwater intrusion, increased salinity will probably become a concern in coastal aquifers and estuary systems.

<h3>How is sea level rise measured?</h3>

Tide stations and satellite laser altimeters are the main tools used to measure sea level. The height of the sea as measured along the shore in relation to a particular place on land is what tide stations all around the world tell us about what is happening locally.

<h3>How will sea level rise affect us in the future?</h3>

And as the oceans get larger due to a rising climate, more people may be at risk of coastal flooding by 2100, putting up to 410 million people at risk. The increase of coastal towns as a result of building and development also puts more people at risk.
