They discovered coal could burn longer than wood. They used it to drive steam engines which could power vehicles and factories. At that time nobody knew about carbon dioxide emissions and how they cause global warming.

Yes They Burn init


Why did carbon dioxide emissions became abnormally high in 1945?

Carbon dioxide emissions became abnormally high in 1945 due to a combination of factors. The end of World War II led to a rapid increase in industrial production and the use of fossil fuels. Additionally, the expansion of the global transportation system, including the use of airplanes and automobiles, contributed to the higher emissions.


Can you use a 3.7v AC adapter for an LED light that recommends a 4V adapter?

You will be undervolting the LED by .3V, but otherwise it should work ok. Note the LED will not be quite as bright as it would be with 4V, but 0.3V isn't much to worry about. Also, make sure the adapter has the current capacity for the LEDs. If the LED draws more current than the supply can put out, it will not work and may burn up the adapter.


What obeservation led Alfred Wegener to develop a hypothesis of continental drift?

I believe his first observation was the way the continents of South America and Africa "fit" together like a jigsaw puzzle (although he was not the first to realize this). He also made note of fossil discoveries in Africa which corresponded to those in South America. Finally, he began his own research which actually alligned rock formation/componants from one side of the Atlantic with the other.

What led people to burn more fossil fuels?

um i think this is it...... We as people on this planet need fossil fuel. We use the fuel to make gas for our cars, to make Why_do_people_burn_fossil_fuelsfor our homes, to run our factories and powerplants. We've been consuming more and more over the years in way more time it takes fossil fuels to make themselves in the ground out of dying and decomposing material.We burn fossil fuels because it is the second most effective way that we know to get energy and the easiest one to transport. Nuclear energy is more effective, but has a stigma attached of it being bad due to a lack of understanding from the general population. Therefore people will generally prefer fossil fuels over nuclear energy.if you want to read more, go here:Why_do_people_burn_fossil_fuels


What connection does global warming have with the Industrial Revolution?

The connection between global warming and the Industrial Revolution is that the Industrial Revolution led to a significant increase in the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas. This increased use of fossil fuels released large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to the enhanced greenhouse effect and subsequent global warming. The Industrial Revolution marked the beginning of the anthropogenic contribution to climate change.


Why are fossil fuel an attractive source of energy?

Fossils fuels are made by immense pressure on once living animals and plants that are buried in earth. It has happened to entire forests and these turn into coal in the fossilisation process. And sea life and plants form oil and natural gas.

What happened to these organisms that led to the formation of fossil fuels?

They go up the air, they turn into something called 'Polluting' simply cause they are. What I mean by polluting is, that it's destroying Earth, in a way. When this happens, it will cause 'Carbon Footprint + Global Warming. I hoped this help you with anything. If you want to ask anything, just send me a message. :D
