Kerosene is not a Fossil Fuel True or False

Answer: Kerosene is not a fossil fuel is a false statement because of the following reasons:

  • Fossil fuels are created when dead plants and animals decompose for an extended period of time under high pressure and temperature.

  • When dead sea organisms decompose at high temperatures and pressures, petroleum is generated. Petrol, diesel, and kerosene are petroleum products obtained by refining. As a result, kerosene is a fossil fuel.
