Answer
Fossil fuels are energy sources formed from the decomposed remains of ancient plants and animals over millions of years.
They are primarily composed of hydrocarbons. The three main types are coal, petroleum (oil), and natural gas. These fuels are extracted from the Earth's crust and are burned to release energy, but they are non-renewable because their formation takes an extremely long time.
