What are fossil fuels used for and how do they work?
Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) is used in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.
How does electricity reduce the use of fossil fuels?
Electricity does not inherently reduce the use of fossil fuels -- in fact, the production of electric energy is one of the biggest uses of fossil fuels. There are two ways that electric power can reduce the use of fossil fuels: Efficiency improvements, and alternate power sources. Efficiency improvements: * By replacing thousands of relatively inefficient fossil-fuel-burning engines with thousands of electric motors and a couple of highly efficient centralized fossil-fuel-burning electric power plants, the same amount of mechanical work requires less fossil fuel. * By using a microwave oven to cook food rather than a gas or electric conventional oven, only enough energy is used to heat the food itself, rather than heating up the internal structure of the oven and the air it contains, and maintaining that temperature for a longer time. Alternate power sources: Power can be produced in several ways that require no fossil fuels -- see the "What can you use instead of fossil fuels?" question below. Converting those forms of energy to electric power makes it easier to reduce or -- in principle -- eliminate the fossil fuel that otherwise would have been used to produce that electric power.
How might a fake fossil affect the work of other scientists?
how might a fossil affect the work of scientists
What sort of useful work can a windmill do?
In older days, windmills were generally used to grind grain, through the wind turning the blades, which turned the grinding mechanisms. Presently, windmills can be used to convert kinetic energy into electricity, popularly seen as an alternative to fossil fuels.
What is one reason why the fossil record is incomplete?
The fossil record is incomplete because not all fossils have been discovered. In actuality it is unlikely that all fossils will ever be discovered given the hit and miss nature of fossil discovery which usually occurs through educated guess work. The fossil record will likely never be complete.
Why do you need to save fossil fuels?
as fossil fuels are very important as most of our vehicles work on fossil fuels once finished they only can be restored after millions and millions of years
Would fossil fuels work in Tennessee?
hello
What are fossil fuels used for and how do they work?
Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) is used in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.
Is there 2 advantages using fossil fuels?
Yes.they are relatively easy to extract (for now);many engines are designed to work off fossil fuels.
What do WE use fossil fuels for?
we use it for electrisity and cars to make things work
Does israel have fossil fuels?
No. Israel does not have either coal or petroleum. There is some work currently on getting off-shore natural gas into Israel, but otherwise, Israel imports all fossil fuels.
How much fossil fuels can wind turbines use in one day?
it takes about 10 turbines for 1 fossil fuel to work.
What comes with getting fossil fules such as coal from the earth?
Fossil Fuels are used to provide to energy to perform work. Such as using coal to provide energy for a train to work.
How does biofuels power work?
The same way fossil fuels power work. They are just produced in a different way.
Why does modern technology release more co2?
Modern technology needs more energy to work, which means more fossil fuels need to be burned. Fossil fuels release CO2. With more fossil fuels being burned because of a higher energy demand from modern technology, more CO2 is released.
What are a few types of environmental disadvantages of fossil fuel?
By burning fossil fuels there is a high risk of pollution which is an environmental hazard and gives out excess carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Also caused by fossil fuels may be acid rain, which causes damage to any stone or marble work.
Burning fossil fuels is like letting go of a slingshot because both change potential energy into?
Burning fossil fuels turns potential energy into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy in motion, which can be used to do work.
