What else can I help you with?
Approximately how many megatons of carbon dioxide do humans produce by burning fossil fuels each year?
The burning of fossil fuels by humans produces around 36 gigatons (36,000 megatons) of carbon dioxide each year.
How do humans use fossil fuels in their everyday lives?
They are the easiest fuels to make in large amounts APEX
Why are fossil fuels the main source of energy for so many people?
Fossil fuels are the main source of energy for many people because they are relatively inexpensive to extract and produce large amounts of energy when burned. They are also widely available and have a long history of use, making them a familiar and convenient choice for meeting energy needs. Additionally, existing infrastructure for extracting, transporting, and using fossil fuels makes them a preferred choice for many energy systems.
What gases and given out when fossil fuels are burnt?
Gasses produced from fossil fuels are many, such as what was known as coal gas (acetylene), CO2, CO, and many others that are formed with impurities found in fossil fuels as sulphur which can produces several toxic gasses within itself.
Why are fossil fuels called finite resources?
Fossil fuels are called finite resources because they are formed over millions of years from the remains of plants and animals, and their formation is a slow process. Once these fossil fuels are extracted and burned, they cannot be replaced within a human lifetime or even many lifetimes due to the long timescales involved in their formation. This makes them limited in quantity and not easily replenished.
How many fossil fuels are burned to make electricity?
The most common fossil fuels burned to generate electricity are coal, natural gas, and oil. Coal is the most widely used fossil fuel for electricity generation, followed by natural gas and then oil. These fossil fuels are burned in power plants to produce steam which drives turbines to generate electricity.
What gas is a fossil fuel?
Carbon dioxide is a gas released when fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas are burned.
What kind of energy do you start with when burning fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are a source of chemical energy. Chemically conbining the hydrocarbons in fossil fuels with air is combustion and primarily produces carbon dioxide and water. (There are many more details of the chemistry of the specific fossil fuels and many other results of their combustion besides the predominant gasses of water and carbon dioxide.)
Approximately how many megatons of carbon dioxide do humans produce by burning fossil fuels each year?
The burning of fossil fuels by humans produces around 36 gigatons (36,000 megatons) of carbon dioxide each year.
How many fossil fuels are used?
Three main fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Should you worry about fossil fuels running out and why?
yes. there is only so many fossil fuels in the earth

Why are resources also called fossil fuels?
Onced used ,it takes many millions of years to replace fossil fuels.
How many fossil fuels can you name?

How many fossil fuels is there?
6 and half
Are there fuels which are not fossil fuels?
yes there are many. wind, wave, solar ect;
