Why do we burn fossil fuels?
Because we make electricity because we need it for our homes and the area also we make cars well so we can drive and go to places.
Why will insulating homes save burning fossil fuels?
If you insulate a home then it keeps the heat in the home for longer which means that you do not need to burn as much fossil fuel to keep warm.
Why do people burn fossil fuels?
We as people on this planet need Energy. And the easiest way to get it is by burning fossil fuel. We use the fuel to make gas for our cars, to make electricity for our homes, to run our factories and powerplants. We've been consuming more and more over the years in way more time it takes fossil fuels to make themselves in the ground out of dying and decomposing material. We burn fossil fuels because it is the second most effective way that we know to get energy and the easiest one to transport. Nuclear energy is more effective, but has a stigma attached of it being bad due to a lack of understanding from the general population. Therefore people will generally prefer fossil fuels over nuclear energy. We burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) because we didn't realize they were adding to the greenhouse effect which is now causing global warming and climate change. We know this now, but we are too greedy for easy profits and we ignore the long term consequences and what it will mean for our children and grandchildren.
Why geo thermal should replace fossil fuels?
As fossil fuels are depleting day by day, we need a alternative to it.We that is why need to have other source of fuel.Geo thermal is that is why used now and it should replace fossil fuels.
Why do you need to save fossil fuels?
as fossil fuels are very important as most of our vehicles work on fossil fuels once finished they only can be restored after millions and millions of years
What gas do you need to make things burn?
Oxygen. Fuels need that to burn.
What are Fossill Fuels?
Examples of fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable energy sources which can be used to make electricity in a power station but it is very bad for the planet and global warming. Fossil fuels are running out slowly so we need to think of something else which is a renewable source of energy.
Can oxygen be a fuel?
No, but most fuels need oxygen to burn.
Why does it matter if you burn fossil fuels?
When we burn fossil fuels, that fossil fuel is gone. *POOF!* And it'll take millions of years for the nonrenewable resource to form again. Therefore we need to conserve fossil fuels as much as possible.
Why is it usually difficult to burn different hydrocarbon fuels efficiently in the same appliance?
Because different fuels need different amounts of Oxygen and heat to ignite.
Why is it difficult to burn hydrocarbons fuels?
I think it because there is more energy needed in order to break down the bonds in the hydrocarbon. Making it less efficient for fuels
Why is it good to use solar energy?
because you do not have to burn fossil fuels (which is good for the enviornment) one day these fossil fuels will run out, so we need a renewable energy source (something that won't run out)
Why do you need to remove Co2 when you burn fuels?
Carbon dioxide is one of the main pollutants causing global warming. By removing CO2 in the first place, a minimal amount is released into the atmosphere during the process of burning fuels.
Why do people need to develop alternative sources of renewable energy and become less dependent on fossil fuels?
Mainly two reasons. (1) The fossil fuels will eventually be used up. (2) Fossil fuels cause pollution.
How many calories should a 14 year old girl burn a day?
It depends on how many calories they consume; if you are of a slighter build and eat less calories, you need to burn less.
Why do we need to burn fossil fuels?
Because they are the most readily available and easiest to use energy source. We need to use any and all available energy sources. Fossil fuels have many drawbacks, but their near global availability and ease of use guarantees that they will be used even with such drawbacks.
How can the society change the continuous use of fossil fuels?
We need to burn fossil fuels now to produce electricity and power our transport. When we do this we release carbon that has been buried for millions of years. Before we can stop burning fossil fuels we need to develop other ways of generating electricity, like better ways of using solar, wind, water and thermal energy. When we can do this efficiently then we can stop using fossil fuels.
