How Fossil Fuels were madeHow Fossil Fuels were made
Millions of years ago, rain forests like these would be squished underground so much all the water would come out of them, making them into fossil fuels.

A disadvantage of people using coal being used in power plants is that it causes a lot of pollution.

This is a picture of a machine drilling for oil. They use huge drills to drill down into the earth until they come to a chamber in the ground that is filled with oil. Then, using the hole they drilled, they pump the oil out of the ground.

Left: solar panel Right: house with solar panels on the roof. Solar panels collect the suns heat, converts it into energy, and stores it for when energy in that house is needed. A disadvantage of these is that they work better on houses with roofs that face south, and a lot of houses in America are already made or being made rapidly without a lot of attention about witch direction the roofs are facing..

Wind Energy
This is a wind mill. It collects energy from the wind making the propellers rotate. A disadvantage of a wind mill would be that birds and other flying animals could run into these and either one could get wounded.
