- 32.) In the United States most of the fuel used comes from a classification called fossil fuels. What does fossil fuel refer to? a. fuel that formed from ancient plant and animal life, representations of which are sometimes found as fossil imprints b. a technique known as fossilization that must be used in order to obtain energy from these fuels embedded fossil remains in the fuel itselfarrow_forwardWhen we use petrol we are ultimately using stored energy from the sun. Plants capture the energy when growing, and then through a long process of decay and compression this plant matter is converted into a fossil fuel. An interesting question is how much sunlight is needed to produce a quantity of petrol. To estimate this, let's assume the petrol has come from wood, and let's assume we have a fast-growing wood source such as Pinus radiata. Assume also: a mature tree contains around 3 m3 of timber; a tree is harvested when 35 years old; the density of wood is around 500 kg/m3; 2 kg of wood makes 1L of petrol; a tree receives on average 8 hours of sunlight per day. How many "hours of sunlight" are stored in 1L of petrol? i.e. how many hours of sunlight does a tree need to be exposed to, to produce the amount of wood needed to make 1 L of petrol?
