It depends on the fossil fuel:
Coal:
- Is dug from the ground by conventional open pit or shaft mines
Oil:
- Is recovered from deep reservoirs by drilling down to them then pumping the oil out or allowing the reservoir pressure to drive it to the surface
- IS recovered from oil sands by mining and processing th bitumen heavy sands
- is recovered from oil sands by in situ processes like SAGD where the oil is steamed from the deposit underground and collected
- is extracted from shale formations like oil sand oil
Natural Gas:
- Is recovered by drilling down to the reservoir and piping the gas to the surface
- Is recovered from coal mine seams by displacing the CH4 with CO2 and collecting the gas
Peat:
- Is collected from peat bogs

How are magma and fossil fuel related?
Magma and fossil fuel are both earth related. They both come from deep under the earth.
What are oils you extract from the earth to use as fuel?
Biofuels
Where was fossil fuel found on earth?
lier
How is fossil fuels man made?
Fossil fuels are not man-made; they are natural resources that form over millions of years from the remains of plants and animals. Humans extract and use fossil fuels for energy by drilling or mining them from beneath the Earth's surface.
What fuels are identified as fossil fuels?
coal is the main fossil fuel on earth that is found under the earth and dug up.
What term do we use to describe oils that we extract from the earth to use as fuel?
We refer to oils extracted from the earth as "fossil fuels." These fuels - such as petroleum, coal, and natural gas - are formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago.
Is a fossil fuel a fossil?
no
Is fossil fuel the energy from the high temperatures deep in the Earth?
No
How is Oil a fossil fuels?
The definition of a fossil fuel is fuel consisting of the remains of organisms preserved in rocks in the earth's crust with high carbon and hydrogen content. Oil is actually being debated as to whether or not it is a fossil fuel. Most scientists support that it is a fossil fuel and we need to conserve it.
Is petroleum man made?
No, petroleum is a naturally occurring fossil fuel formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals buried deep underground. While humans extract and refine petroleum for use, it is not man-made.
