They are used to run most of the power plantsthat generate electricity.
Sure, much of the world's electricity is obtained by burning fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels produce electricity when they are burned to make steam or smoke which turns generators to make electricity. But we must be careful that we are not burning too much fossil fuels so that we will run out one day. :)
fossil fuels
Burning fossil fuels and burning wood produce similar pollutants because wood and fossil fuels are both consist of hydrogen and carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced when burning wood and fossil fuel.
what percentage of electricity produced in the UK comes from burning fossil fuels ?
Well, fossil fuels don't give the electricity they are part of making it though. By burning fossil fuels it creates steam which turns a turbine that generates electricity.
like coal ,petrolem are the fossil fuels
Yes, fossil fuels can and do create electricity. Most electricity round the world today is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
It depends on how much electricity it is using. Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels, which produces carbon dioxide.
Apart from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), we produce electricity from renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).
To produce or make electricity is to generate it. Some of the common ways of generating electricity include using wind power, geothermal energy and burning fossil fuels among others.
Global Warming is most indeedly caused by electricity, when you think of where electricity originates then there is your answer. In order to power our homes, schools, and factories we need to burn the fossil fuels first to produce electricity. Basically you get electricity from burning fossil fuels such as coal.
