Yes, burning fossil fuel adds nitrogen, in the form of nitric oxide, to the atmosphere.

What is a fossi fuel?
Fossil fuels are those fuels that contain carbon i.e gas,oil coal. The formation of these fuels is through the decay, burial, rotting vegetation on land and water marine over many years. The burning of these fuels add to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
What will burning trees in a forest or gasoline in car will do to the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide, laid down millions of years ago when fossil fuels were formed.
What is bad about fossil fules?
Fossil fuels are bad for the enviorment because: 1.When you burn fossil fuels you give off pollution 2.That pollution goes into the atmosphere 3.The pollution that got into the atmosphere will add to the ozone layer and make it hotter on Earth These are reasons that fossil fuels are bad for the enviorment.
What is the best reason to use a renewable source instead of relying on fossil fuels?
Renewable energy sources don't add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
What is the chief gas in the earth atmosphere?
Nitrogen, 78% and Oxygen, 21%. There is about 1% of Argon, and trace amounts of other gases. As this question is in the "Global Warming" section, let me add that these gases are relatively thermodynamically inert. So comparing heat trapping gases against them makes no more sense than comparing the weight of the atmosphere to the weight of earth's oceans. Our concern is whether the abundance of greenhouse gas in our atmosphere is growing (it is), why that is occurring (human consumption of fossil fuels), and what we ought to do about it--either nothing, if we don't fear the consequences, or considered efforts towards reducing GHG emissions.
Does burning fuels add nitrogen into the atmosphere?
no
How can you add a gas to the earths atmosphere?
the icecaps in iceland have i think c0 in it when it melts it is released and the burning of fossil fuels

What human actions involve burning fossil fuels and add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere?
Generating electricity in power plantsbuilding factories,driving cars,flying in an aircraft.
How do plants and animals get nitrogen if not the atmosphere?
if not from the atmosphere , they must depend on a process called nitrogen fixation. They get it from the soil. That's why farmers add fertilizer to the soil to increase nitrogen content
What are some things that might add gases to the earth's atmosphere?
Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).

How do humans add nitrogen to the atmosphere?
by breathing co2 back into the air. Therfore magically making it nitrogen.
Why is the Earth getting warmer every day?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat. We are continuing to add extra greenhouse gases (by burning fossil fuels) and this is causing the warming. The great forests that used to remove carbon dioxide (one of the greenhouse gases) from the atmosphere have been destroyed.
Does biofuel contribute to global warming?
No, biomass burns grown vegetation to produce energy. Because the vegetation grew recently, it means it took carbon out of the atmosphere recently. Burning it puts the same carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. This makes it carbon neutral.

Carbon dioxide, laid down millions of years ago when fossil fuels were formed.
