What is the relationship between thermal energy and fossil fuels?
The chemical reaction caused by burning fossil fuels produces a large amount of thermal energy. This principle is the main reason that fossil fuels are obtained.
How did the energy get into fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are made from plant and vegetable matter that died millions of years ago. The plants and vegetables got their energy from the main energy source around here - our sun. Essentially, fossil fuels can be regarded as stored energy from the sun. We use/release that energy again by burning the fuel.
What is Frances main energy source?

What is the main pollution created from the burning of fossil fuels?
The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas causing global warming.
Why the sun is our primary source of energy?
The Sun isn't our primary source of energy. The world still relies on burning fossil fuels as a main source of energy. Solar power only provides one percent of the world's electricity production.
What is the main pollutant created form the burning of fossil fuels?

What are the four main sources of ai pollution?
Dust storms farming burning fossil fuels forest fires
What primarily causes acid rain?
Pollutants caused from burning fossil fuels are a primary factor. The two main gasses that create acid rain are Sulphur Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxide, both of which are byproducts of burning fossil fuels in different forms.
