Is geothermal energy a fossil fuel?
No. Fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas. Geothermal energy is a clean renewable energy powered by the heat from the centre of the earth. It is the only renewable energy whose power does not come from the sun.
In what way does the energy of fossil fuels come from sunlight?
Fossil fuels were originally either prehistoric zooplankton and algae (which became petroleum) or plant material (which generally became coal). In either case, the living organisms converted the energy of sunlight into their structures. By using the energy of the fossil fuel, we use the energy the original organisms captured, and that's the connection to sunlight.
What are some energy sources that come from fossil fuels?
Coal (apex)
Where did Fossils fuels originally get their energy from?
Nearly all energy on the earth comes originally from the sun - including fossil fuels. To the best of our knowledge, fossil fuels come from the conversion of deposits of matter that was once living into the fuel via lots of pressure, heat, and time after it was buried deep in the crust. The plants that contribute to the fossil fuels got their energy from the sun via photosynthesis. The animals got their energy ultimately from the sun by eating plants that got their energy from the sun by photosynthesis or other animals that ate the plants that got their energy from the sun by photosynthesis.
How does using Geothermal energy effect the environment?
Geothermal energy can reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by replacing energy that would have come from burning fossil fuels. It is basically a fairly clean energy source
How fuels are used energy source?
Fossil fuels are energy sources that come from the reamins of plants and animals. These remains are millions of years old.
What problems harnessed nuclear energy from fossil fuels?
Nuclear energy does not come from fossil fuels
Why are energy sources called fossil fuels?
Not all energy sources come from fossil fluels. Fossil fuel energy sources are coal, crude oil. None fossil fuels energy sources are wind power, solar power, tidal power. It is arguable for atomic power , using uranium .
Does fossil fuels come from soil?
they come from renewable sources
Where does the energy of fossil fuels come from?
potential
Which force of energy does not come directly from the sun?
Fossil Fuels (:
Does energy come from burning fossil fuels?
Yes, certainly it does
How is energy produce d from fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels (hence the name) are natural fuels that come from decayed bodies (humus or fossils) in the earth.
How can you obtain fossil fuels?
fossil fuels come from non-renewable (will not last forever) energy resources, these non-renewable energy resources (fossil fuels) come from CRUDE OIL, COAL, NATURAL GAS, NUCLEAR, sometimes wood and biomass - this depends on how it is extracted
Is it true that energy in fossil fuels is derived from the energy stored in plant and animal matter?
Yes, that's where it is usually believed that fossil fuels come from - and that's why they are called "fossil" in the first place.
How does a windfarm help the environment in its life span?
Whatever energy that's been produced in the wind farm has come from renewable sources, which means that thre's less energy that's come from fossil fuels.
Where do hydrocarbons in petrol and diesel come from?
fossil fuels
