What role does bacteria play in turning dead materials into fossil fuels?
Bacteria causes fossil fuels to break down the plant and animals, they basically eat it.
Is the role of fossil fuels in the carbon cycle?
The role of fossil fuels in the carbon cycle is to produce carbon dioxide. Fossil fuels are considered to be the highest contributors to pollution of the environment.
What is the role of microorganisms in the biogenesis of fossil fuels?
Generation of organic matter and for oil extraction
What role does the combustion of fossil fuels have in the carbon cycle?
It increases the carbon dioxide in the oceans. It adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
Why should you ban fossil fuels?
Fossil Fuels should be banned because when they are burnt they release atmospheric pollutants in the atmosphere, including Greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide and Methane in the air. This has a huge role in global warming as it causes the earth to get warmer and warmer.
What role do fossil fuels play in the economies of Indonesia and Brunei?
Fossil fuels are the most important aspect of their economies. Indonesia is a member of OPEC and Brunei has become very wealthy because of fossil fuels.

Cycle in which volcanic activity and burning fossil fuels plays a role?
The Carbon Cycle
What is the role of microorganisms in the biogenesis of fossil fuels?
Generation of organic matter and for oil extraction
What role do cities play in global warming?
Cities and the people in them play a large role in global warming. Heating, cooling and transport in the cities use massive amounts of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). When fossil fuel is burnt it releases carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases that are causing global warming.

What role does the sun play in making fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels wwwwwwwere once living plants and animals. If they were plants they got their energy from the sun, and if they were animals they got their energy from eating plants who got their energy from the sun, or from eating animals who ate animals who ate plants who got their energy from the sun. In other words the sun is the source of all energy. The sun´s energy is stored in living beings, in plants and the animals that eat the plants, and if conditions are right, that energy is then stored in the form of fossil fuels.
Why is it difficult to say exactly when the world will run out of fossil fuels?
To know when the earth's fossil fuels will be completely gone, it is necessary to know: 1. Supply: The existing and future quantities (yet to be discovered) of fossil fuels and 2. Consumption: The rate at which the world will consume these fuels. There is disagreement among organizations on the future supply and consumption. Many predict that as the supply becomes more expensive, we will use energy conservation to reduce the demand. However, as the standard of living improves in many countries, in particular India and China, the demand for fossil fuels has increased. There is disagreement as to the role of alternative fuels will have in the future. Some predict that the demand for fossil fuels will decline as alternative fuels offer a more economical option. The related link is excellent in describing the predicted peak then decline of fossil fuels. You may find many links on the internet. Also, several recent books have been written about the period of "peak" and "decline" periods in fossil fuel supply.
How are fossil fuels made including the sun and plants role?
Fossil Fuels are made from dead plants and animals, over years and years past since they decomposed, I do not know how to include the roles of the sun and plants..... I have this same question on my study guide for 6th grade science energy mrs.Schaller's class.
What has the author W L Berry written?
W. L Berry has written: 'Trace elements in the environment - their role and potential toxicity as related to fossil fuels - a preliminary study'
