How the acid rain formed by burning fossil fuels?
The fossil fuels burn and come up to the air as pollution. It gets into a cloud, and when it rains, there is acid rain.
What is the chemical equation for fossil fuels burning in the air?
For coal is carbon burning:C + O2 = CO2
What human activities contribute most greenhouse gases?
Humans have had the greatest impact on climate change by burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. This activity adds to the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, creating an enhanced greenhouse effect.
How does carbon and nitrogen affect the atmosphere?
Carbon affects the atmosphere when humans burn fossil fuels into the air and other chemicals
How have humans put carbon dioxide in air?
Basically by burning things like coal, oil and natural gas (fossil fuels).
How are fossil fuels related to air pollution and acid precipitation?
When fossil Fuels are burned, they release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere causing air pollution. When these pollutants combine with water in the atmosphere, they form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which makes acid precipitation.
How does fossil fuels affects the air?
Fossil fuels affect the air by increasing the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. As they are burned, the gases they give off slowly increase the atmospheric temperature and cause greater heat retention.
Do all fossil fuels affect the environment the same?
When fossil fuels are burned, they all produce and release smoke/smog (or CO2) in the air. So yes, they all affect the environment the same.
What are three pollutants released into the air when fuels are burned?
Carbon dioxide, water vapour and nitrogen.
Are fossil fuels dangerous?
because you can't live when there is fossil fuels in the air.
How do fossil fuels release carbons into the atmosphere?
As fossil fuels are made up of Carbon and Hydrogen. This burns in oxygen (in air) to form Carbon dioxide and Water, so the carbon dioxide is released into the air
What forms when burned fossil fuels react with water in atmosphere?
global warnming and other gases like air
How do cars effect the air quality from the fossil fuels?
The pollution from the cars is hazardous to the air quality from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels have to burn a lot of gas and coal in order for cars to get driving.
What is the process where fossil fuels forests or other carbon-containing substances are burned adding more carbon dioxide to the air?
cordreon system
How does the iPad harm the environment?
The charging of the ipod is basically paying for more fossil fuels to be burned. The power inside it when it is on also pollutes the air.
When fuels such as coal and gasoline are burned they release nitrogen into the air?
when fuels such as coal and gasoline are burned they release nitrogen into the air true or false
How are fossil fuels bad?
they pollute the air
