Yes we do because fossil fuels contain carbon and hydrogen, which both burn with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce heat which is used to drive an engine.
The heat comes from the formation of chemical bonds between carbon and oxygen, and between hydrogen and oxygen. The carbon dioxide produced is output into the atmosphere in much the same way as sewage used to to be output to run down the gutter in towns 200 years ago.
What else can I help you with?
What led humans to burn more fossil fuels?
The Industrial Revolution and technological advancements led to increased demand for energy, driving the widespread use of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas are abundant, easily accessible, and provide a concentrated source of energy, making them attractive for meeting the growing energy needs of society. However, the environmental impact of burning fossil fuels has become a major concern due to their contribution to climate change.
Is geothermal energy a fossil fuel?
No. Fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas. Geothermal energy is a clean renewable energy powered by the heat from the centre of the earth. It is the only renewable energy whose power does not come from the sun.
Who burns fossil fuels?
Many industries and sectors burn fossil fuels, including transportation, energy production, manufacturing, and residential heating. This leads to the release of greenhouse gases and contributes to climate change. Transitioning to renewable energy sources is essential to reduce the impact of burning fossil fuels.
What devices use fossil fuels as an energy resource?
Devices that use fossil fuels as an energy resource include cars, trucks, airplanes, generators, and some heating systems. These devices burn fossil fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and natural gas to produce energy for their intended purposes.
Why do power plants burn fossil fuels?
Power plants like Thermal Power Plant burn fossil fuels to heat water and then water turn into steam that creates enough pressure to run the turbines.Turbines rotate and electricity is formed.
How do we use fossil fuels for energy?
We burn them
What energy is used to burn fossil fuels?
the jkrfgvbjkxchgjtm,fbjkljh
What are an advantige and disadvantige of energy reasourse for fossil fuels?
A disadvantage of fossil fuels is that when you burn them to create energy, it pollutes the air. An advantage of fossil fuels is that we use them to power cars and many other things.
When a fossil fuels is burn energy is converted to kinetic energy?
Fossil fuels represent chemical energy, a form of potential energy. This energy was stored in the hydrocarbon molecules and can be released by oxidation (burning).
How do you get energy from fossil fuels?
Burn them - the heat can then be used to power things.
What is the type of energy stored by fossil fuels such as coal?
combustible energy. it can burn at a very high temperature
What three fossil fuels do you burn to provide electric energy?
coal, gas and oil
Why fossil fuels burn?
Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas burn because they contain chemical energy stored from ancient organic matter. When exposed to heat or a spark, the carbon and hydrogen in fossil fuels react with oxygen in the air, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. This process is known as combustion.
How does the burning of fossil fuels provide the primary energy source for most of modern society?
Well when you burn fossil fuels you get alot of the energy that we use like petroluem, natural gas, and coal.
What are three technologies that burn fossil fuels?
things such as cars plans and certain factories burn fossil fuels
Fossil fuels is what energy?
the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
