How does burning fossil fuels affect the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the rocky crust of the earth, Earth's surface. Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) has no real effect on the lithosphere, but has a very big effect on the atmosphere.
Does burning fossil fuel affect earth's atmosphere?
Yes, burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases extra carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas which is the main cause of global warming and climate change.
What cycle do humans affect by burning fossil fuels?
We affect the earth's regular carbon cycle by burning fossil fuels. Coal and oil combustion adds billions of tons of carbon to the atmosphere, carbon that has been stored underground for millions of years.
Is burning fossil fuels the reason carbon dioxide is building up in your atmosphere?
Burning fossil fuels isn't the only reason carbon dioxide is building up in the Earth's atmosphere. The other reason is the destruction of forests all round the world.
What are three things that put carbon dioxide into the air by burning?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)Burning trees (half a tree is carbon)Burning any garbage (most things on earth have large amounts of carbon in them)
What is affecting Earth's environment?
human influence esp burning of fossil fuels

The heating up of earth due to burning of fossil fuels is known as?
Environmental pollution is one of the things that comes from the use of fossil fuels.
If we wern't here would global warming happen?
No. Global warming is caused by man burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests. No other animal does that. If there were no humans on earth, there would be no global warming.
What human activities are warming earth?
Burning fossil fuelsCutting down forestsEating red meatMaking Cement
How does burning fossil fuels affect the nitrogen cycle?
Burning fossil fuels alters the amount of nitrogen in the Earth's atmosphere. Specifically, there has been a significant increase in nitric oxide levels since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
Does burning fossil fuel affect earth's atmosphere?
Yes, burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases extra carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas which is the main cause of global warming and climate change.
What will happen to the Earth's atmosphere?
If we keep burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and destroying forests then it will get warmer and warmer, threatening our way of life and that of everything else on the earth.If we stop burning fossil fuels tomorrow and change immediately to renewable energy, there's a slim chance that global warming will slow (after quite a number of years) and stabilise, and we might survive!
What cycle do humans affect by burning fossil fuels?

How can human use of fossil be detrimental to the environment?
Fossil fuels are oil and coal. Both of which have to extracted from the earth through drill of wells or by digging of mines. The burning of these fuels pollutes the atmosphere.
What are three things that put carbon dioxide into the air by burning?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)Burning trees (half a tree is carbon)Burning any garbage (most things on earth have large amounts of carbon in them)
