Introduction
Fossil fuels are natural resources found in the environment, that people use for their daily life.
Production And Distribution
Fossil fuels comes from mines or oil,gas. It is collected by a coal-fired steamed station.Water is turned into steam in a coal-steamed station. Which in turn drives turbines to produce electricity. Before the coal is burned, it is pulverized to the fineness of talcum powder. It is then mixed with hot air and blown into the firebox of the boiler. While it is burning in suspension, in the coal/air mixture provides combustion and maximum heat possible.The enormous pressure of the steam pushing against a series of giant turbine blades turns the turbine shaft, where magnets spin within wire coil where it produces electricity. Then while it is done doing its work for the turbine, the steam is turned in the condenser, a large chamber in the basement of the power plant. Millions of gallons of cool water are pumped in a network of tubes running through the condenser. Then the cool water converts the steam back into water. The cooling water returned to its source with no contamination, then the water goes through its cycle all over again.
Cost-Materials
The materials that we need for fossil fuels to be made:
- Coal
- A boiler to boil water into steam
- FireBox to blow the steam, and mix it with Talcum Powder
- Turbine which turns to make electricity, and then the steam help powers it
- Generator which when the steam is done in the turbine it goes into the generator
- Condenser which turns the steam into cool water
- Water towers to turn the steam back into water
- Goes through the process all over again
Environmental Impact
The fossil fuels pollute the air. Water pollution is caused by the dirt,rocks,gravel,soil that goes into the water which then pollutes it. Separating the water from the runoff of the fossil fuels. Coal mining raises a number of environmental challenges such as soil erosion and noise and water pollution. Large areas have to be temporarily disturbed in order to dig for fossil fuels.
Conclusion
In conclusion, fossil fuels are a renewable resource that you can use every day.
