What has to happen to fuels so that they can produce heat and light energy?
I think it has to get really hot!
How does nuclear energy differ from fossil fuels?
With fossil fuels we burn them to produce heat. With nuclear fuel we produce a nuclear chain reaction in a reactor which produces heat. Using the heat to produce electricity is the same for both types of fuel.
Do nuclear power plants heat up the planet?
Any power plant causes heat to be produced when the electricity is used, but nuclear plants don't produce greenhouse gases as fossil fuels do
How do you use fossil fuels to produce electricity?
Coal, oil, or natural gas is used to make electricity by burning it. The heat is used to drive a steam turbine that is hooked up to a generator.
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 happen to fuels so that they can produce heat and light?
Usually, fuel is burned to achieve this.

What is the process of converting the chemical energy in fuels to electrical energy?
A simple answer is that fossil fuels are burnt. The heat is used to produce steam which drives mechanical turbines and dynamos, which then produce electricity.

What remains of plants and animals now burn to produce heat?
when plants and animals die they change into fossil fuels. and they use fossil fuels to burn and make heat. I'm very sure
How is waste used as a type of fuel?
It can be used in incinerators which produce heat as for burning fossil fuels.
Chemical reaction that produces heat?
Chemical reactions that produce heat (or energy) are known as Exothermic Reactions. (Example: combustion of fuels)
What do you mean that natural gas is a fuel?
Natural gas is a fuel because it burns with air to produce heat, which is what fuels do.
When fossil fuels burn what types of energy do they produce?
When any fuel combusts it produces heat, light and a little sound. The majority of the energy produced will be heat.
Why do most tornadoes occur in the afternoon?
The ground and air are warmest at that time of day. This heat fuels the storms that produce tornadoes.
When humans burn fossil fuels which will increase?
Fossil fuels produce large quantities of carbon dioxide when burned. Carbon emissions trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to climate change.
Do geothermal stations produce carbon dioxide?
No. They are extracting existing heat from the earth, and converting that to electrical power. There are no fossil fuels burned there.
