What is the name given to the burning process of fossil fuels?
Combustion is basically OXIDATION.
Fossil fuels contain energy that originally came from where?
Fossil fuels contain energy that originally came from the sun. Plants and other organisms that lived millions of years ago absorbed sunlight through photosynthesis and stored this energy in their tissues. Over time, this organic matter was buried and compressed, eventually forming fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
Name the phenomenon because of which the earth's atmospheric temperature is increasing and causing widespread environmental changes?
The phenomenon is called global warming, which is primarily caused by the increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This leads to the trapping of heat from the sun, resulting in the gradual warming of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, leading to climate change and its associated environmental impacts.
Name three ways to minimize the negative effects to fossil fuels?
Increase energy efficiency in transportation, industry, and buildings to reduce the overall demand for fossil fuels. Invest in renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower to gradually transition away from fossil fuels. Implement carbon capture and storage technologies to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases from fossil fuel combustion.
How do fossil fuels get their name and what is the significance behind it?
Fossil fuels are named because they are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. The significance of this name is that it highlights the fact that these fuels are non-renewable resources that take a very long time to form, making them finite and unsustainable in the long term.
What is another name for burning fuel?
Hydro-carbons is another name for fossil fuels.
What is another name for fossil fuels?
Hydro-carbons is another name for fossil fuels.
How does the term fossil fuels get its name?
fuels are what we run off of
What is another name for non-renewable energy sources?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What is the name given to the burning process of fossil fuels?
Combustion is basically OXIDATION.
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.

Fossil fuels contain energy that originally came from where?
Fossil fuels contain energy that originally came from the sun. Plants and other organisms that lived millions of years ago absorbed sunlight through photosynthesis and stored this energy in their tissues. Over time, this organic matter was buried and compressed, eventually forming fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
What is the name for the type of energy formed in fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are stores of chemical energy. The chemicals are various hydrocarbons. The original source of the energy locked in these chemicals is Sunlight. The fuel formed from the remains of plankton that were buried beneath the Earth millions of years ago. Geothermal processes converted the remains of living creatures to the hydrocarbons that we now call fossil fuels. Fossils do not make energy. Fossils are usually from larger animals and plants, but the term fossil fuel is one of common usage.
Name the element all fossil fuels use?
carbon
Name any type of fossil fuel?
Fossil fuels are broken down into three major categories. These include natural gas, coal, and oil. Fossil fuels are found throughout the world.
What other name is given to carbon based fuels?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
