Burning fossil fuels affect the rate of weathering by releasing carbon dioxide into the air, polluting theenvironment. As more carbon dioxide is released into the air, more carbonation can occur, creating more acids to weather the area's rocks.

Natual gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel.
the burning of fossil fuel affected us and can probably cause cancer
In addition to natural factors like rock formation and climate, weathering is also affected by human activities. Some activities, like burning fossil fuel for power, have an indirect affect. The burning of the fuels leads to acid rain, which weathers rocks faster than neutral water. Other activities such as strip mining are more direct. Strip mining removes the vegetation and topsoil, which exposes rocks to rain and oxygen. Oxygen, readily present at the earth's surface, reacts through oxidation with many rocks formed at the earth's core where oxygen is lacking.
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.
The main greenhouse gas emitted from burning diesel, a fossil fuel, is carbon dioxide (CO2).
it destroys habitats
Combustion is the term given to burning a fuel, very often fossil fuels.
We should not burn fossil fuels.

Natual gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel.
Wood is a fuel as it can provide energy by burning. But, it is not formed by fossils and hence not called a fossil fuel.
