Natural Gas is a fossil fuel.

Example of natural gas. Natural gas is used throughout the United States but five states accounted for about 38 of total US. Natural Gas is mainly extracted from the petroleum deposits deep beneath the earth. Natural gas also contains smaller amounts of natural gas liquids NGL which are also hydrocarbon gas liquids and nonhydrocarbon gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor.

An example of natural gas is the fuel used in a gas range stove. Operating gas fired fireplaces. A liquid has a defined volume but can change state.

The five largest natural gas-consuming states and their percentage shares of total US. Use of natural gas. The principal components of natural gas are methane and ethane with varying amounts of heavier hydrocarbons including propane butane and pentane.

Examples have not been reviewed. The other gasses have many uses including making plastics like polypropylene from propane and polyethylene from ethane. It generates electricity heats homes and fuels vehicles.

A gas has neither a defined shape nor volume. Substituting into Equation 2 gives. Natural gas is composed of methane propane ethane and butane.

Cooking food on barbecues and gas-burning stoves. Natural gas contains many different compounds. There are several different theories to explain how fossil fuels are formed.
