Coal, natural gas and oil are found under the ground. Coal is mined in one way or another, gas is drilled for and oil is also drilled for. There is only so much of these and we will run out of them. They are not renewable because it takes millions and millions of years to make them.

Fossil fuels are obtained through drilling or mining processes. For oil and natural gas, drilling rigs are used to extract them from within the Earth's crust. Coal is typically mined from underground or surface mines.
