When fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are burnt they release Carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas that is causing global warming and climate change.
What else can I help you with?
Why is burning fossil fuels an issue?
Bcoz burning of fossil fuels releases poisonous fuels which are harmful to human health....;)
Are fossil fuels carbon-based?
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon into the atmosphere in the form of CO2. Yes.
How do you harness the power of fossil fuels?
Combustion releases the energy in fossil fuels as heat. Other methods can be used, depending on the circumstances.
What Burning fossil fuels releases?
It releases CO2, which is carbon dioxide. They might also release methane
By what process is the carbon in fossil fuels released into the atmosphere?
The carbon in fossil fuels is released into the atmosphere through the combustion of these fuels, such as burning coal, oil, or natural gas for energy production. This process releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
Is carbon dioxide released by fossil fuel formation?
No, formation of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.Burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide.
What do fossil fuels do to earth?
Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming and climate change. Extraction of fossil fuels can also disrupt ecosystems, cause habitat destruction, and lead to water and air pollution. Additionally, the combustion of these fuels releases pollutants that can harm human health.
How are fossil fuels used to generate energy?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are burnt in vehicles and electricity power plants. This releases the energy.
What are the environmental consequences related to obtaining the three major types of fossil fuels?
Burning of fossil fuels releases harmful gases in atmosphere ie NO2 and SO2.
What is the process that releases energy from fossil fuels?
The process that releases energy from fossil fuels is combustion, in which the fossil fuel reacts with oxygen in the air to produce heat, light, and carbon dioxide. This reaction is typically used to generate heat for electricity generation or to power vehicles and machinery.
What is the disadvantage of using fossil fuels to generate electricity?
it releases greenhouse gases into the atomosphere.
Which cycle is directly affected by burning fossils fuels?
The carbon cycle, because the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases carbon dioxide (CO2).
