What are Fossill Fuels?
Examples of fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable energy sources which can be used to make electricity in a power station but it is very bad for the planet and global warming. Fossil fuels are running out slowly so we need to think of something else which is a renewable source of energy.
What is one way in which fossil fuels and wind power are different?
Fossil fuels are non-renewable sources of energy, while wind power is a renewable source of energy. Fossil fuels contribute to air pollution and climate change through carbon emissions, whereas wind power is clean and does not produce greenhouse gases during operation.
How do fossil fuels make electicity?
the burning of fossil fuels creates thermal energy, which in this case is on the from of steam, which then in turn rotates a turbine
What is is alternative energy?
Alternative energy refers to any source of energy that is different from traditional fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. Examples of alternative energy sources include solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, and biomass. These sources are often considered more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
How do you make fossil fuels create heat?
Fossil fuels, coal, oil and natural gas, are a non-renewable source of energy. Formed from plants and animals that lived up to 300 million years ago, fossil fuels are found in deposits beneath the earth
What is the name for the type of energy formed in fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are stores of chemical energy. The chemicals are various hydrocarbons. The original source of the energy locked in these chemicals is Sunlight. The fuel formed from the remains of plankton that were buried beneath the Earth millions of years ago. Geothermal processes converted the remains of living creatures to the hydrocarbons that we now call fossil fuels. Fossils do not make energy. Fossils are usually from larger animals and plants, but the term fossil fuel is one of common usage.
Main source of CO2 emission to the atmosphere?
burning fossil fuels to make electricity
What are some good things about fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are the most prevalent source of energy today because: * coal is found all over the world and can be mined fairly easily. * oil has been discovered all over the world, it can be pumped out fairly easily, and when burnt it has tremendous power (a cup of gasoline can run a car full of people for a mile at high speed, nothing else comes close to that). * natural gas is similar to the above.
What are three reasons humans burn fossil fuel?
Humans burn fossil fuels primarily for energy production, as they are a major source of electricity and heat for homes, industries, and transportation. Additionally, fossil fuels are integral to various industrial processes, providing raw materials for the manufacturing of chemicals, plastics, and other products. Finally, their high energy density and established infrastructure make fossil fuels a convenient and often cheaper option compared to renewable energy sources.
What are the two main sources of energy that give to the national grid?
nuclear energy and burning fossil fuels to push turbines that make electricity. ************************************************* the two main sources are burning lots of fossil fuels and nuclear energy
How much energy is produced compare to fossil fuels?
well that depends compare to solar energy i think fossil fuels make the most energy out of any other kind of energy because they have coal, petroleum, oil and natural gas in wish solar energy depends on the sun and wind energy in the wind that is why fossil fuels produced more energy than any other.
What is the definition for alternative energy source?
Usually an "alternative energy source" is one that is not now a major contributor to our energy supplies. That would make "alternative energy" anything that is not based on fossil fuels of one sort or another. Some people exclude nuclear energy from the "alternative" universe
