Are fossil fuels used to make paper metal or glass?
Indirectly, yes. Fossil fuels are still a popular fuel source for many such factories, although you would be less likely to see it used in a paper factory. If you are looking for an economic good which is directly related to petroleum (the most commonly altered fossil fuel) then anything plastic, and of course petroleum jelly would be on your list.
Evidence of the activity of organisms in the past is called a?
Trace Fossil
The human activity that causes the most air pollution is the burning of?
fossil fuels
What other human activity is over loading the carbon cycle?
the burning of fossil fuels
Do people burn fossil fuels?
People burn fossil fuels when they drive a car or a lorry, or they run a gas cooker. In all these appliances, fossil fuel is directly burned in the appliance, which gives off carbon dioxide. People also burn fossil fuels indirectly when they use electric energy in the home. In this case the burning takes place in the nearest working power plant, where the fuel is used to generate steam that drives a turbine and that in turn drives the electrical power generator. Most power plants run on fossil fuel, but not all of them. In a power plant the fuel usage is closely linked to the amount of energy being taken. So turning off appliances that are nor being used reduces the fuel used and the carbon dioxide put into the atmosphere.
Which cycle involves volcanic activity and burning fossil fuels?
The carbon cycle.
What percentage of the population in the world is directly or indirectly dependent on fossil fuels?
All present human societies except a very few isolated primitive tribes depend on fossil fuels. Practically all societies are directly dependent, with fossil fuels providing the vast majority of power generation and transportation capability, plus critical components of the chemical industry, and a core enabler of agriculture. Those few places not directly using fossil fuels are dependent on products made by fossil fuel cultures. In numerical terms, all but at most a couple hundred thousand out of 6.5 billion are dependent - so, 99.99% or more.
