anthracite coal
coal, oil and natural gas.
these layers were buried under sand, silt, and rock. Pressure and heat changed some of this carbon and hydrogen-rich material into coal, some into oil (petroleum), and some into natural gas. (Info U.S. Energy Information)
Advantages:
Readily available (at the moment)
Relatively easy to produce energy from them
Disadvantages:
Non-renewable source – will eventually run out
Increasing fuel costs
Release carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) when burnt – greenhouse gas
Explanation: Similarities: they are both formed from organic remains and both form under enormous pressures in a sedimentary sequence. Differences: coal is formed from land-based plants in bogs and coastal swamps, while oil and gas are derived from tiny marine organisms, such as algae and phytoplankton. (https://socratic.org)

The oil industry extracted a record high 4.47 billion barrels of crude oil in the United States in 2019 (around 12.25 million barrels per day), worth an average wellhead price of US$55 per barrel. U.S. oil production was 2.5 times as high in 2019 as it was in 2008 (when it reached its lowest level since 1946). (Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org)
