How do you manage our use of fossil fuels?
First when you find fossil fuels they can either be bad or kinda bad, and also when we have too many fossil fuels they can harm our environment.
Does natural gas harm the environment?
Yes, they are fossil fuels just as oil and release carbon dioxide (CO2), a known greenhouse gas.
How does the iPad harm the environment?
The charging of the ipod is basically paying for more fossil fuels to be burned. The power inside it when it is on also pollutes the air.
How does the refrigerator harm the environment?
It uses electricity, most of which is generated by burning fossil fuels. This releases additional greenhouse gas in the form of carbon dioxide.
What is a bad side effect of burning fossil fuels for energy?
Burning fossil fuels creates greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) which is contributing to Global Warming. Fossil fuels are a great source of energy, but cause many side effects and they are nonrenewable. Other bad side effects could be the retrieval of fossil fuels which can cause harm to the environment. Everybody saw the terrible aftermath of the BP oil spill a few years ago, problems such as this caused a massive destruction of habitat for 1000s of animals. In the UK, extraction of Gas has caused minor earthquakes which has also damaged the local environment. Basically, fossil fuels are great for energy, but are terrible for the environment.
Do natural resources create harm to the environment?
Natural resources are things like wood,fossil fuels,metal etc. if it is used in some ways like burning it then yes, it can cause harm to the environment, but if is let on its own then no, it doesn't cause any harm.
What are the benefits and limitations of fossil fuels?
Benefits: Mostly everything we use in the world needs fossil fuels. Gasoline for cars, energy for light, etc. The world has used it for many years and is still using it.Limitations: Fossil fuels will run out eventually, so if we do not start using renewable energy we could be in BIG trouble! Fossil fuels also harm the planet. It adds too much carbon dioxide to the ozone. Fossil fuels also harm the plants and animals in the planet too.
How are fossil fuel and acid precipitation related?
Acid precipitation and fossil fuels are related because, acid rain can harm living organisms and fossil fuels are made from the remains form living organisms.
How is the movie The Lorax similar to what we face today with fossil fuels?
"The Lorax" draws parallels to today's environmental issues with its theme of exploiting resources for profit, leading to severe consequences for the environment. Similarly, our dependence on fossil fuels is causing harm to the planet through pollution and climate change. The movie serves as a warning about the importance of protecting our environment for future generations.
What harm does buring fossil fules do the environment?
It makes gas in a greenhouse.
What is the positive impact on the environment from fossil fuels?
fossil fuels can help us by burning them to cook our food, driving us to work everyday, and other things. however, using to many of these fossil fuels can harm us as well. they can run out if they are not renewable. they also destroy the ozone layer, which protects us from the ultra violent rays from the sun. if we put a hole in the ozone layer, the whole planet will die and burn up because of the massive heat.
In what ways have people harmed the environment?
People have impacted on the environment by throwing litter on the ground or in a stream.Some people ride their bikes to school or work so that they don't harm the environment by using cars and making the smoke from the exhaust come out into air.pollutionLitteringpetroleum and other fossil fuels pollute the environment which sends out greenhouse gases to cause global warming.
