Fossil fuels are made from organisms like trees that died millions of years ago and were subjected to extreme pressure. All organic life has carbon in it, and trees have a lot more than most organisms, so the carbon was compressed until its molecules reformed their shapes into coal and oil.
Fossil fuels are basically hydrocarbons (made entirely out of hydrogen and carbon atoms). Over time, the fossilised remains of plants and animals break down into bare elements. Hydrocarbons are left together for the longest, so these are used to produce electricity.
The role of fossil fuels in the carbon cycle is to produce carbon dioxide. Fossil fuels are considered to be the highest contributors to pollution of the environment.
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
All fossil fuels are part of the carbon cycle.
By burning the fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are natural fuels such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms.
No, carbon is in fossil fuels.
The role of fossil fuels in the carbon cycle is to produce carbon dioxide. Fossil fuels are considered to be the highest contributors to pollution of the environment.
Fossil fuels come from fossilied plant matter in the ground. Alternative fuels are alternatives to fossil fuels, and these are mainly carbon fuels that take their carbon from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (as fossil fuels do) but on a carbon cycle with a much shorter term. An example is wood, which can be burned as more trees are growing and absorbing carbon dioxide.
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
All fossil fuels are part of the carbon cycle.
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon into the atmosphere in the form of CO2. Yes.
Halogens are not the basis of all fossil fuels. Carbon is the basis of fossil fuels and it is not a halogen.
By burning the fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are natural fuels such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms.
No, formation of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.Burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide.
Fossil fuels (coal, oil natural gas, peat) are made from ancient plant and animal life. Plants and animals are mde from carbon compounds. As a consequence, fossil fuels contain carbon.
Carbon is the element of the life and fossil fuels.
