When fossil fuels are burned, they all produce and release smoke/smog (or CO2) in the air. So yes, they all affect the environment the same.

Is fossil fuel rewnable or nonrewnable?

Fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources because they take millions of years to form and cannot be replenished at the same rate they are being consumed. Once fossil fuels are used, they are depleted and cannot be replaced within a human lifetime.


Why are you running out of fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels are running out because they are finite resources that are being consumed at a much faster rate than they are being replenished through natural processes. The exploration and extraction of fossil fuels have also greatly accelerated the depletion of these resources. Ultimately, the finite nature of fossil fuels, combined with their high demand for energy production, is leading to their depletion.


How do humans use fossil fuels in their everyday lives?

They are the easiest fuels to make in large amounts APEX


Why do most experts descirbe the rate of a fossil fuel use as unsustainable?

There is some debate as to whether short-term, we can continue to use fossil fuels at the same rate. We are finding new sources of fossil fuels, and these help replace the fossil fuels that we consume. Longer term, the earth's resources are limited and as we consume our fossil fuels, we will not be able to find new fossil fuels to replace them. See attached link on peak oil.


Why fossil fuels are regarded as infinite resource?

Fossil fuels are not regarded as an infinite resource. They are finite. Oil wells get used up and run dry. In the very long term, it is possible that new deposits of fossil fuel will be created by the same process that created the existing deposits, however, that takes millions of years, which means that for our purposes, fossil fuels will run out.

What is the same between wind power and fossil fuel?

Both wind power and fossil fuels are used to generate electricity. Additionally, they both have the potential to impact the environment, although wind power is considered cleaner and more sustainable compared to fossil fuels.

Is a fossil fuel a photochemical smog?

Fossil fuels are coal,oil and natural gas. They are not themselves photochemical smog. That is a complex mixture caused by the action of sunlight on air containing substances released when fuels burn. Thus it is connected to fossil fuels, but it is not the same thing.

Why does burning wood and burning fossil fuels produce the same substance?

The main content is the same. Of the wood is carbon and hydrogen, and that of fossil fuels is hydrogen and carbon. So when wood and fossil fuels are burnt the Carbon combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, and the hydrogen combines with oxygen to produce water (H2O). C+O2--> CO2+CO


Is fossil rocks the same as fossil fuels?

Not quite the same thing. The rocks are rocks that contain fossils of living creatures or plants inside them, while fossil fuels are oil or gas from underground, formed from fossilised vegtation that grew 1-100 million years ago.

How can buying food and clothes affect the amount of greenhouse gases released into the environment?

Food and clothing all have a carbon footprint, that is, they all use carbon dioxide from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in their production, cleaning, packing and transporting. This is why buying locally grown food is better for the environment, and reusing or recycling clothes is the same.


Does coal oil same as fossil fuels?

I believe you mean coal bed gas or coal bed methane which is a fossil fuel.
