It comes from the carbon that was in the plants. This will slowly be released from the plant after it dies.
Fossil fuels come from fossilied plant matter in the ground. Alternative fuels are alternatives to fossil fuels, and these are mainly carbon fuels that take their carbon from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (as fossil fuels do) but on a carbon cycle with a much shorter term. An example is wood, which can be burned as more trees are growing and absorbing carbon dioxide.
No, carbon is in fossil fuels.
"Fossil fuels" refers to fuels, such as carbon and petroleum, that are generally believed to originate as fossils.
The steady increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere come from our use of fossil fuels. If we were able to stop using fossil fuels, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would stop rising. Biofuels are a partial answer, because by using biofuels you are reducing our use of fossil fuels.
The C stands for Carbon. And carbon comes from decomposing materials such as plants and animals.
fossil fuels
No. Carbon monoxide is the product of burning fossil fuels such as coal or petroleum.
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon into the atmosphere in the form of CO2. Yes.
The carbon in fossil fuels originally comes from organic matter, such as plants and algae, that absorbed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis millions of years ago. Over time, this organic matter was buried and transformed into fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas through geological processes. When these fuels are burned, the carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
Halogens are not the basis of all fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are primarily composed of hydrocarbons, which are compounds made of hydrogen and carbon. Halogens like chlorine, bromine, and fluorine are not key components of fossil fuels.
Carbon is the component found in all living matter and fossil fuels.
