Do fossil fuels contain carbon compounds?
yes.
What do fossil fuels contain that make them energy rich?
Fossil fuels are energy rich because they contain carbon. The carbon is broken down to create oil for human uses.
Coal petroleum and natural gas all contain?
Fossil Fuels
How does carbon end up in fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil natural gas, peat) are made from ancient plant and animal life. Plants and animals are mde from carbon compounds. As a consequence, fossil fuels contain carbon.
What are things that contain carbon?
Puppies.(no, really. All living things contain carbon.)Diamonds are something. And graphite. Yeah. I told you. What?
How people use carbon?
Fossil Fuels like Coal and Oil contain Carbon, Carbon is what our bodies are based from, and any living thing has some carbon.
What process releases carbon into the atmosphere from fossil fuels?
Combustion. Fossil fuels contain carbon, hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen and some other elements. But the largest is Carbon. So when such fuels burn they combine with the Oxygen and Nitrogen in air to form Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen oxides etc. Any form of carbon when burns produces carbon dioxide.
Why is more carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere?
because we have a greater demand for fossil fuels and when you burn fossil fuels a lot of carbon dioxide is released
How is carbon dioxide unloaded?
farts contain a lot of Carbon Dioxide.
Fossil fuels release carbon dioxide during?
The burning and releasing of its energy. A lot of it is also transfered into carbon monoxide.
What are the Carbon Neutral Fuels?
They are fuels that, when burned, have no carbon emmisions.
What does carbon and fossil fuels give off?
Yes. fossil fuels differ from other fuels in that, when we burn them we are burning carbon that has been sequestered from the atmosphere for millions of years. This adds 'new' carbon dioxide that increases the total atmospheric level of greenhouse gases.
