Energy in fuels originally comes from the sun. Through photosynthesis, plants convert solar energy into chemical energy stored in the form of carbon compounds. When these plants and organic matter decay and are buried over millions of years, the energy is trapped and concentrated in fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
What else can I help you with?
Is fuel a liquid?
What are two substances that are needed for iron to rust
Where does the energy of coal originally come from?
coal is fuel. it can be burned to make heat or energy. the energy is coal was once sunlight energy that plants used. Petroleum and natural gas are also fuels. most scientists think natural gas petroleum form in a way similar to coal. however, they did not begin as plants. they began as small sea organisms. so, crude oil and natural gas are called fossil fuels.
How is chemical energy used?
Chemical energy is used in our bodies to power various processes like metabolism and muscle contractions. In industry, chemical energy can be harnessed from fuels to generate electricity, heat, or to power vehicles. It is also utilized in chemical reactions to produce products such as fertilizers or pharmaceuticals.
What are the other 2 energy resources other than nonrenewable?
Renewable energy resources are solar energy, which comes from the sun, and wind power, which utilizes wind turbines to generate electricity. These resources are sustainable and have minimal environmental impact compared to nonrenewable energy sources.
What are the types of burning fuel?
The main types of burning fuel are solid (e.g. wood, coal), liquid (e.g. gasoline, diesel), and gas (e.g. natural gas, propane). Each type of fuel has different characteristics in terms of energy content, combustion efficiency, and environmental impact.
Are fossil fuels the cheapest form of energy?
I don't think they are.
The energy in fossil fuels is often converted into?
I think it's electricity.
How much energy is produced compare to fossil fuels?
well that depends compare to solar energy i think fossil fuels make the most energy out of any other kind of energy because they have coal, petroleum, oil and natural gas in wish solar energy depends on the sun and wind energy in the wind that is why fossil fuels produced more energy than any other.
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 fossil fuels replace solar energy?
People normally think that the other way... so YES it can.
What energy is not renewable?
I think there is a law of conservation of energy that says: 'energy cannot be created or destroyed only changed from one form to another.' So no energy could be 'created within 100 years'
Is fuel a liquid?
What are two substances that are needed for iron to rust
What are the two substances usually released from burning fuels and respiration?
i think that the answer might be carbon dioxide and energy
What has to happen to fuels so that they can produce heat and light energy?
Fuels need to undergo combustion, which is a chemical reaction with oxygen, to produce heat and light energy. During combustion, the fuel molecules break apart, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. This energy can then be harnessed for various purposes, such as heating homes or generating electricity.
What will fossil fuels solar energy wind energy geothermal energy run on in the future?
Most likely, fossil fuels are running out and will eventually get depleted. I personally think hydrogen fuels cells is the best way. You use solar panels and that electric power will split the water into hydrogen and oxygen. Your car (for example) will burn the hydrogen ( slowly because i don't want the car to explode) and release the oxygen into the air.
What does McCain think about alternative fuels?
i think that's she thinks is why do they have to have alternative fuels that's just watse of time
How can humans prevent the greenhouse effect?
by planting trees,ban use of CFC,s, replace fossil fuels which emit co2 and think of alternative sources of energy which can produce clean energy .
