How do you rewrite this sentence to make it correct Fossil fuels are made from the fossils of dinosaurs?
Fossil fuels are not made from the fossils of dinosaurs.
How long does it take for the earth to make fossil fuels in years at a time?
It takes millions of years for fossil fuels to be naturally formed.
What can people do to make fossil fuel supplies last longer?
We can conserve our energy but cutting how much energy we use in our every day life. Conservation is the best short term solution to fossil fuels and global warming.
Are car gases made up of fossil fuels?
It may depend on what fuel the car is using. There are many kinds of that fuel. There are biofuels like ethanol and fossil fuels. Scientists are trying to make a better fuel like wind power, solar energy, and geothermal energy because they are environmental friendly
What are some good things about fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are the most prevalent source of energy today because: * coal is found all over the world and can be mined fairly easily. * oil has been discovered all over the world, it can be pumped out fairly easily, and when burnt it has tremendous power (a cup of gasoline can run a car full of people for a mile at high speed, nothing else comes close to that). * natural gas is similar to the above.
Fossil fuels make source of energy?
they do but it can hurt the enviorment
How do fossil fuels make electicity?
the burning of fossil fuels creates thermal energy, which in this case is on the from of steam, which then in turn rotates a turbine
What is the name for the type of energy formed in fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are stores of chemical energy. The chemicals are various hydrocarbons. The original source of the energy locked in these chemicals is Sunlight. The fuel formed from the remains of plankton that were buried beneath the Earth millions of years ago. Geothermal processes converted the remains of living creatures to the hydrocarbons that we now call fossil fuels. Fossils do not make energy. Fossils are usually from larger animals and plants, but the term fossil fuel is one of common usage.
How do you release the energy from fossil fuels into living organismas?
Use the fossil fuels to make electricity. Use the electricity to make light and use this artificial light to raise crops (eg carrots). Feed the carrots to a rabbit. The rabbit will then be living on the energy (which was once sunlight) that was stored in the fossil fuels.
What are the two main sources of energy that give to the national grid?
nuclear energy and burning fossil fuels to push turbines that make electricity. ************************************************* the two main sources are burning lots of fossil fuels and nuclear energy
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.
Are all fuels examples of chemical energy?
They don't have to be. Some fuels are fossil fuels, which are rapidly disappearing right now. Some examples of fossil fuels are oil, which we use for gas, and coal, which we use for heat and electricity. But fossil fuels take millions of years to make more, so we are rapidly using up the fossil fuels of the world.
3 fossil fuels that make 90 percent of Australia's energy use?
Australia uses coal, oil and natural gas. These are fossil fuels. The amount of energy derived from the wind and solar is rising fast.
All living things break down what to make energy?
All living things contain carbon. When they die and decompose, the decomposition process makes carbon rich fossil fuels, which can be used to produce energy.
How do you make fossil fuel last?
We can't because fossil. Fuels are made from non renewable energy which wil eventually will be finshed
What two energy-rich compounds make up fossil fuels?
coal and natural gas
