Fossil Fuels come in 3 major forms: Coal, Oil, and Natural Gas. These take millions of years
to make. As trees and plants died, they sank to the bottom of the oceans. They
formed layers of a material called peat. Over many hundreds of years, the peat was covered by sand and clay and other minerals,
which turned into a type of rock called sedimentary. This pressure eventually turned this peat into fossil fuels.
