Particles of carbon what enters the air when wood and coal are burned are called?
Carbon monoxides are particles of carbon which enters the air when coal and wood are burned.
What is the effect of burning wood and coal?
Burning wood and coal add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, where it joins other greenhouse gases to contribute to the greenhouse effect. Burning wood may only release carbon that has been stored for some years, depending on the age of the tree. Burning wood will usually not add to the normal carbon cycle, especially if another tree is growing in its place. Burning coal, however, releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden away underground for millions of years. This extra carbon disrupts the natural carbon cycle and is causing the enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing the present global warming.
Where does the oxygen needed for burning wood come from?
Oxygen is part of the mixture of gases we breath. Therefore, burning wood uses the oxygen in the atmosphere.
