Answer to Problem 87A

Fossil fuels are naturally available due to which other energy sources are not developed yet.

Explanation of Solution

Lower aliphatic hydrocarbons, primary methane, make up natural gas, which is found in natural subsurface reserves, dissolved in crude oil, or in direct contact with it.

It is largely utilized as a fuel in homes and in the manufacturing of formaldehyde, ammonia, methanol, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and many other chemical compounds in the petrochemical sector.

Oils are composed of hydrocarbons and are made from petroleum, coal, or shale.

They are utilized as fuels, lubricants, and in petrochemistry.

Fossil fuels are easy to transport and are disposable fuels.

Fossil fuels are used worldwide because they are easy to use and cheap.

The other energy sources are used in minimal amounts whereas fossil fuels are used more commonly.
