Fossil fuels and biomass fuels have similar origins. Firewood is an example of a biomass fuel. Fossil fuels are similar to biomass in that their creation also begins with microorganisms and plants using energy from the sun to fix CO2 into carbohydrates but there are several more steps in the creation of fossil fuels.

How can geothermal energy be used to replace fossil fuels?
it is way better than fossil fuels
Why is the burning of fossil fuels concern for scientists?
because when fossil fuels are burned,the fossil fuels are running out more and more and so scientists are trying to figure out a way for fossil fuels to become more of a renewable resourse then a nonrenewable resource so that way we have more of a likely cause that we will have a future use of all the fossil fuel that are about to run out just like an extinct species.
Why are alternative fuels called green energy?
they produce energy in a more environmentally friendly way then fossil fuels do
How do humans use fossil fuels in their everyday lives?
They are the easiest fuels to make in large amounts APEX
What two steps would you take to conserve fossil fuels?
One approach to the problem is to find new sources of energy. The second way is to make the fuels that are available now last as long as possible while other solutions are being developed.
In which way is biomass useful?
Many biomass fuels can significantly reduce carbon emissions if they are used to displace fossil fuels. Some types of biomass can also be converted into liquid which can be used for vehicles. Biomass fuels can be cheaper than fossil fuels in many circumstances. It is renewable and is not dependent on fossil fuels. While biomass can be used directly, it can be used to produce higher forms of fuels. Listen to mia. she knows everything.
How can sound replace fossil fuel?
There is no way sound can replace fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). In the future fossil fuels will be replaced by renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel) so we can slow global warming.
How can geothermal energy be used to replace fossil fuels?
it is way better than fossil fuels
How are banana leaves and sheaves used as a fuel substitute?
Banana leaves and sheaves can be burnt as biomass to generate electricity, in the same way that fossil fuels like coal and oil are used. Using biomass slows the speed of global warming.
Why is solar power better than fossil fuels?
it is better than fossil fuels because it is better for our environment and it will last way longer than fossil fuels. :)
What is one way in which fossil fuels and wind power are different?
Wind does not take millions of years to make where as fossil fuels do.
Are fossil fuels useful?
In a certain way, yes
Why is the burning of fossil fuels a concern for a scientists?
because when fossil fuels are burned,the fossil fuels are running out more and more and so scientists are trying to figure out a way for fossil fuels to become more of a renewable resourse then a nonrenewable resource so that way we have more of a likely cause that we will have a future use of all the fossil fuel that are about to run out just like an extinct species.

How can you burn fossil fuels in a way that you good for the environment?
You cant, once fossil fuels is burned, the atoms in the fuel is split and produces greenhouse gases
Why and how will increases in the recycling of plant biomass reduce the greenhouse effect?
It assists in the Quest for sustainable ways to Sequester Carbon.Burning biomass (recently grown vegetation) to generate electricity puts carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is CO2 that was recently removed (when the plants grew), so biomass is carbon neutral. The only way it reduces the greenhouse effect is if it replaces the burning of fossil fuels.
How will biomass solve local and global problems?
Burning biomass (plant, vegetable matter and wood scraps) is a way of generating electricity that does not contribute to global warming. It could replace some fossil fuel burning power plants and lead to a reduction in global warming.Burning biomass does add carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere, but it is CO2 that was recently taken out of the atmosphere (when the plants were growing) so this is not extra CO2. Burning biomass then is part of the natural carbon cycle which moves CO2 in and out of the atmosphere.The carbon dioxide that comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) was taken out of the atmosphere millions of years ago, so releasing it now is adding extra CO2 (and causing global warming).This is why biomass is renewable energy and better than fossil fuels.
