Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The natural resources formed from the dead remains of living organisms (fossils) are all known as fossil fuels. These fuels are found in the Earth's crust which contains carbon and hydrogen in high amounts. These are non-renewable resources. On burning fossil fuels, energy will be released, which can be used for various needs. Coal, coal products, natural gas, derived gas, crude oil, and petroleum products are examples of fossil fuels. When fossil fuels are burned, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the air. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which traps heat and causes global warming. The increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere leads to an ecological imbalance.
