Oil: Fossil Fuels
Fossil Fuels are made of thousands of years old dead plants and animals
They are buried under tons of Earth and the energy contained in the plants and animals is converted to oil.
Oil is then used to make gas for cars and other engines, including ones that create electricity!!!

A Joule is a way to describe energy. It is named after this guy
James Prescott Joule
It takes 4.2 Joules to heat 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius.

Transferred to the ecosystem?
