Hydrocarbons form naturally. They come from fossils of plants and animals which have been under heat and pressure for millions of years. They are found deep below the earth's surface in porous rock formations such as sandstone, limestone, and shale, which form a majority of the thickness of continents. Most usually, porous rocks are found under a great mass of water, which means the ocean has a tremendous storage of trapped hydrocarbons below its surface. Hydrocarbon denotes an organic chemical substance that includes hydrogen and carbon atoms only.
Hydrocarbons are naturally formed and form the primary components of crude oil, natural gas, coal, and so many other energy sources. Hydrocarbons combust easily and yield carbon dioxide, water, and heat on combustion as such them being effective fuels. Hydrocarbons are chemicals that serve as a basis for most energy production across the globe. Much has been developed in the technology and methods for the extraction of hydrocarbons from deep within the earth's crust. The most enormous companies in the whole world are hydrocarbon enterprises- almost entirely oil and gas companies. Energy production by hydrocarbons negatively affects the world's climate and thus changes it significantly.
