When fossil fuels are burned they release energy stored thousands of years ago?
When fossil fuels are burned, they release energy stored years ago.
Is kinetic energy stored by fossil fuels?
No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.
What do thermal energy and fossil fuels have in common?
When fossil fuels are burned, some of the chemical energy stored in them is converted into thermal energy.
The type of energy stored by fossil fuels is?
electromagnetic energy
What CE is stored in food and fossil fuels?
chemical energy
People return carbon stored in fossil fuels to the carbon-oxygen cycle by burning what?
By burning the fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are natural fuels such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms.
How do fossil fuels store energy?
Fossil fuels contain the chemical energy that plants and algae obtained from sunlight and then stored in sugars. Just as energy chemical energy is stored in sugars, chemical energy is stored in fossil fuels. All it takes to release it is enough heat and oxygen to cause the fuel to burn.
Are fossil fuels stored solar energy?
Yes, the energy in fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) came originally from the sun.
What is the energy stored in fossil fuels such as coal?
Chemical potential energy
How is carbon stored in living things?
photosynthesis, protein, fossil fuels
What is the energy stored In coal and petroleum?
Fossil fuel. Also, natural gas is in the category of fossil fuels.
How is energy transformed when fossil fuels are used?
Fossil fuels can be burned to release the potential chemical energy stored millions of years ago.The process of burning fuels is called Combustion.
