Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity releases carbon dioxide (and other gases). These change the composition of gases in the atmosphere. The present levels of carbon dioxide have increased from 280 ppm (parts per million) one hundred years ago to the present 400 ppm.
The burning of fossil fuels affects the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by increasing it.
No, it puts carbon into the atmosphere.
Burning fossil fuels contributes to climate change and are nonrenewable.
No, the burning of fossil fuels affects the carbon cycle, but not the water cycle.
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
The burning of fossil fuels affects the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by increasing it.
Burning fossil fuels adds carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, to the atmosphere. This can raise global temperatures.
because it will release carbon dioxide in to the air
Burning fossil fuels has released large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. As a result, the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased. Some claim this results in global warming.
Burning fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas which is building up in the atmosphere.
We affect the earth's regular carbon cycle by burning fossil fuels. Coal and oil combustion adds billions of tons of carbon to the atmosphere, carbon that has been stored underground for millions of years.
there is an increase in the amount of nitrogen in the atmosphere- and there is a decrease in the amount of nitrogen in the earth.Answer this question…
When fuels are burned their pollution goes into the atmosphere where it mixes with rain, this forms acid rain.
Burning fossil fuels alters the amount of nitrogen in the Earth's atmosphere. Specifically, there has been a significant increase in nitric oxide levels since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
The lithosphere is the rocky crust of the earth, Earth's surface. Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) has no real effect on the lithosphere, but has a very big effect on the atmosphere.
No, it puts carbon into the atmosphere.
Yes, burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases extra carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas which is the main cause of global warming and climate change.
