Any material from which energy can be obtained is called a fuel.

There are three types of fuel:

1. Bio-fuel: Fuels that are made from the seeds of various plants. Example, sunflower seeds, groundnut seeds, etc.

2. Nuclear fuel: Radioactive elements like uranium 238 decay to form elements of lower atomic numbers. This is called fission. The process releases a lot of energy.

3. Fossil fuels: Coal, petrol, diesel, gasoline, etc are the common fossil fuels that we use in our vehicles or for heating the interiors of homes.

4. Batteries: These store the electrical energy in them. They are used to power toys, modern vehicles, indoor lighting, etc.

5. Biological compounds: ATP, GTP, various sugar molecules, etc.

explanation:

plate tectonics and volcanic euptions

over time, plate tectonic processes cause continents to move to different positions on the globe.

for example, britain was near to the equator 300 million years ago, and therefore was hotter than it is today. for further details look at our climate through time poster or online map.

the movement of the plates also causes volcanoes and mountains to form and these too can contribute to a change in climate.

mountain ranges formed by plate tectonics. large mountain chains can influence the circulation of air around the globe, and consequently influence the climate.   warm air might be deflected somewhere cooler by the mountains.
