Nearly half of the pollution caused by burning fossil fuels comes from?
Nearly half of the pollution caused by burning fossil fuels comes from carbon dioxide emissions. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming and climate change. Other pollutants emitted from burning fossil fuels include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter.
How much energy is produced by fossil fuels?
A short list of fossil fuel air pollutants includes: CO2 - from the combustion of carbon CO - from the incomplete comustion of carbon NOx - from nitrogen in the fuel and combination of nitrogen in the air with oygen SOx - from sulphur in the fuel Particulates - from ash and unburned oil droplets VOC - from volatilized but unburned fuel PAH - from uncontrolled cracking and reforming in the flame Radiation - from uranium in the fuel (coal) Haze - from condensed liquids and fine particulates Hydrocarbons - from volatilized but unburned fuels air pollution is caused by carbon that come from our car.
What human activity releases large amounts of sulfur dioxide into the environment?
Sulfur dioxide is produced by the burning of coal to produce electricity. Nearly 2/3 of the sulfur dioxide produced is through the burning of fossil fuels.
Nearly half of the pollution caused by humans comes from where?
motor vehicles Rosedewittthesecond: I do not know the answer but i know that that is incorrect. That was my answer for a science test and it was marked wrong.
How many megatons of carbon do humans produce by burning fossils fuels each year?
Total world energy-related carbon dioxide emissions were 29.7 billion metric tons in 2007.A:Humans add about 27 billion tonnes (nearly 30 billion US tons) of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels every year.
What pollution are there in antarctica?
There is nearly no pollution in Antarctica or in the skies above the continent. This fact makes the continent particularly suited for scientific study of the health of planet earth.
Is a sedimentary rock a fossil?
A fossil is any record of an organism preserved in rock, whether it be igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. Nearly all fossils are discovered in sedimentary rock.
How can you make more fossil fuels?
We can NOT make more fossil fuels, because it is (nearly) impossible to make up something that takes millions of years to have the process accomplished, or achieved.
What type of events can increase atmospheric carbon dioxide?
Humans burning coal, oil and natural gas increases atmospheric CO2.Deforestation, cutting down trees, means that less carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.Volcanic eruptions can put carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, but not nearly as much as fossil fuels.
Why are places with more sedimentary rock better places for fossil hunting?
Nearly all fossils are found in sedimentary rock.
In which year was San Francisco nearly destroyed by fires caused by a major earthquake?
1906
What are the three things about the blue flame?
1.gas efficient 2.clean burning (no soot) 3.nearly invisable
