When fossil fuels are burned, they release smoke and DUST. The dust then blocks the pores found in leaves of trees blocking of pores prevents trees from breathing thus the plant withers and die.

Is burning wood for energy better than burning fossil fuels for energy?

No,because the trees are limited and used for oxygen.


What is affected by fossil fuels?

The Earth's atmosphere is affected by fossil fuels. This causes global warming and acid rains. Acid rains destroy the trees and buildings. Global warming and climate change affects the harvests of fruits and vegetables. It also melts the ice bergs in Antarctica and the Arctic Circle, raising the sea level and islands can disappear into the ocean.


How do you fight global warming?

Stop burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Plant billions of trees.


What do fossil fuels decay from?

Trees


How are placing limits on water usage the burning of fossil fuels and the cutting of trees the same?

They are not the same. Placing limits on water use is a localised regulation to make sure your town doesn't run out of water. The burning of fossil fuels and the cutting down of trees are the two factors that are causing global warming. A much more serious issue!


Is there a solution to the antarctic global warming?

Yes, we must move to renewable energy, stop burning fossil fuels and plant billions of trees.


What are humans doing to add to the green house gas effect?

burning fossil fuels, chopping down trees and generally killing the environment


What will happen to the earth if you continue burning fossil fuels and cut down trees?

- Exhaustion of the fossil fuels reserves - Energetic crisis - Destruction of our planet Earth - Wars for energetic resources (as the wars of United States and Israel against Muslim countries)


Are trees a fossil fuel?

No. Although trees can become fossil fuels, they are not considered fossil fuels until they are decomposed. Fossil fuels are created when organisms die and are decomposed over millions of years. They then form coal, petroleum or natural gas. These fuels are called nonrenewable resources, because they take so long to create. Trees grow relatively fast, so they are considered renewable.


What are three activities that release carbon dioxide?

Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricityBreathingRotting trees and vegetation.


Can dead birds cause burning fossil fuels?

No. Fossil fuels like coal and petroleum result due to the carbonization process that occurs during the "fossilization" of trees and plant matter. The meat of a dead bird would not produce any fossil fuels. The death and decomposition of a bird will release greenhouse gasses, just like fossil fuels do when burned for energy, but this does not make the bird a fossil fuel since there is no fuel (for human use) derived from this activity.


What are three things that put carbon dioxide into the air by burning?

Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)Burning trees (half a tree is carbon)Burning any garbage (most things on earth have large amounts of carbon in them)
