Which fuels are used for generating electricity in Africa?
Mostly fossil fuels but there is one nuclear plant in South Africa
How does a power plant transform energy in fossil fuels to electrical energy?
steps for power plant transform fossil fuels
Explain why some fuels are fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are simply fuels that are made from fossilized animal or plant matter. These fuels are non- renewable and is a limited resource.
Where do fossil fule come from?
fossil fuels are from prehistoric plant and animals
What is the most widely source of renewable energy in the world today?
Fossil fuels have been used to produce the greatest amount of electricity. Following fossil fuels is renewable energies, which some argue, will one day be the biggest source of electricity.
Why do power plants burn fossil fuels?
Power plants like Thermal Power Plant burn fossil fuels to heat water and then water turn into steam that creates enough pressure to run the turbines.Turbines rotate and electricity is formed.
How could you be using fossil fuels while watching a television show?
The TV is powered by electricity, which probably comes from a power plant that burns fossil fuels to generate power. You may be sitting in a room heated by a heater that burns natural gas.
Why is nuclear power cheaper?
Is it cheaper? I think costs of generated electricity are comparable with fossil fuels, but less than renewables. The trouble with nuclear is the high cost of building, certainly once the plant is built the ongoing fuel costs are less than for fossil fuels.
What is a solid fossil fuel form from plant remains?
Ancient plant remains are buried and compacted until they form fossil fuels. There are 3 types of fossil fuels: Natural Gas Oil and Coal; the only solid fossil fuel, which is what you're looking for.
Can dead birds cause burning fossil fuels?
No. Fossil fuels like coal and petroleum result due to the carbonization process that occurs during the "fossilization" of trees and plant matter. The meat of a dead bird would not produce any fossil fuels. The death and decomposition of a bird will release greenhouse gasses, just like fossil fuels do when burned for energy, but this does not make the bird a fossil fuel since there is no fuel (for human use) derived from this activity.
Why is ethanol a cleaner burning fuel than fossil fuels?
because it is made out of corn and it is a plant and it has low emission but fossil fuels have high emission.
How does nuclear energy differ from fossil fuels?
With fossil fuels we burn them to produce heat. With nuclear fuel we produce a nuclear chain reaction in a reactor which produces heat. Using the heat to produce electricity is the same for both types of fuel.
