THE CYBER CENTER The Cyber-EncyclopediaFossil fuelsA great quantity of solar energy stored in the form of, ancient, decomposed, organic matter, generally found under ground. It was the carbon-gathering activity of plants during the Carboniferous period (354 to 290 million years ago) that produced this mass of fossilised matter, which was gradually covered by geologic action. The process of returning this stored carbon to the atmosphere through the use of fossil fuels, frees green house gasses and tends to reproduce the same climate that existed during the Carboniferous age; that is to say, very hot with no ice sheets.
