How do fossil fuels burn?

Fossil fuels include oil, gas, coal, and all other products that are derived from fossil fuels and used as an energy source. Fossil fuels release energy when they are burned. Take your car for example. You put gas in your car, and your engine burns the fuel and converts the potential energy of the fossil fuel into heat energy, and the heat energy into kenetic energy, and your car goes. Although pg&e is now using some renewable energy sources as well, the majority of our electricity comes from fossil fuels. The fossil fuel is burned, and the energy that is released is converted into electromagnetic energy, another word for electricity. A simpler example is gas, like the gas that is used in a gas stove. The gas is a fossil fuel, and it is burned. When it is burned it releases heat and light.


What do fossil fuel put into the air?

Fossil fuels release carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases into the air when burned. These gases contribute to global warming and climate change by trapping heat in the atmosphere. Additionally, burning fossil fuels also releases other pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which can lead to air pollution and have detrimental health effects.


Do people burn fossil fuels?

People burn fossil fuels when they drive a car or a lorry, or they run a gas cooker. In all these appliances, fossil fuel is directly burned in the appliance, which gives off carbon dioxide. People also burn fossil fuels indirectly when they use electric energy in the home. In this case the burning takes place in the nearest working power plant, where the fuel is used to generate steam that drives a turbine and that in turn drives the electrical power generator. Most power plants run on fossil fuel, but not all of them. In a power plant the fuel usage is closely linked to the amount of energy being taken. So turning off appliances that are nor being used reduces the fuel used and the carbon dioxide put into the atmosphere.


How do you get fossils fuels?

to get fossil fuels we have to do many things. Fossil fuel is created by animals and plants that died millions of years ago that got crushed in the earth. To get fossil fuels we have to look for a place that have dead things in the ground. We, then, have to put together the things to get to it. We send down machines to get it out. Having fossil fuels is good and bad. It is good because it is easy to transport from places to places and it is cheap. The bad thing about it is that it creats alot of air pollution when burned and there is not a lot left. I hope this help you :)


Why won't fossil fuels last forever?

Fossil Fuels are created when the remains of plants and creatures are put under extreme pressure for extremely long periods of time. There Isn't an infinite amount of vegetation and creatures that lived that long ago, therefore there isn't an infinite amount of Fossil Fuels.


Do nuclear power plants generate more or less air pollution than fossil fuel plants?

A power plant uses fossil fuels to produce the energy. When the fossil fuels such as gasoline and coal is burned it releases chemicals into the air. Fossil fuels themselves don't cause pollution because they are objects in the ground. The fuels are burned inside the power plants which is where the chemicals and pollution comes from. The power plant doesn't cause pollution either because it simply takes the energy produced and distributes it. The pollution is caused during the chemical reaction of the heat of fire reacting with the petroleum fumes or the coal rocks. The chemicals and gas are simply products. So for a straight forward answer neither one produces pollution. The pollution comes from the chemical reaction. But in regards as to where the pollution come from it comes from the power plants because the fossil fuels don't give off pollution.


Why are fossil fuels found and buried inside rocks?

crude oil (which contains many fossil fuels) is created when dead bodies of organisms are put under enormous pressure over an elongated period of time. after millions of years, they rise and settle in the porous rock above them


How can the carbon dioxide produced when these fuels are burned influence climate?

put ur penis on hot burner then it will produce carbon di oxide


Are dust particles a cause of acid rain?

No. Acid rain is the result of nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides put into the atmosphere by volcanoes and the burning of fossil fuels.


What is the positive impact on the environment from fossil fuels?

fossil fuels can help us by burning them to cook our food, driving us to work everyday, and other things. however, using to many of these fossil fuels can harm us as well. they can run out if they are not renewable. they also destroy the ozone layer, which protects us from the ultra violent rays from the sun. if we put a hole in the ozone layer, the whole planet will die and burn up because of the massive heat.


Why would your headlights go off when you put them on brights?
