What impact does fossil fuel have on earth?

Answer 1

Combustion produces excessive Carbon Dioxide, causing pollution in locations that are densely populated with fossil fuel energy dependent people. In addition, Fossil Fuel is for the most part nonrenewable. What takes millions of years to form is expended by human beings in a few hundred years, so it will push us to seek newer, more efficient means of energy production, or it may simply motivate us to synthesize fossil fuels. I must hope it is the former.

Answer 2

Burning fossil fuel is a fairly cheap and easy way to generate electricity and power our vehicles, so we have used it lavishly over the years.

We are now realizing the problem of all the carbon dioxide it adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This carbon used to be safely stored underground, but letting it loose now has disturbed the normal carbon cycle and the world is getting warmer.

Answer 3

Fossil fuel is coal, oil and natural gas that was laid down millions of years ago from the carbon of trees, vegetation and even animals. When man digs it up and uses it for energy (by combustion, or burning), this extra carbon is released into the environment, where it is accelerating the greenhouse effect. This accelerated, or enhanced, or runaway greenhouse effectis now causing global warming.

The normal carbon cycle is a natural process whereby carbon moves in and out of the atmosphere, from the soil, oceans, animals and vegetation. It supports the greenhouse effect, where greenhouse gases have kept the earth comfortably warm since life began.

Answer 4

Pumps the atmosphere full of CO2 (carbon dioxide), CO (carbon monoxide), and depletes the life saving Ozone layer.

Answer 5

Burning fossil fuels has a negative effect on the earth. The fossil fuels emit pollutants into the atmosphere which adversely affects the environment.

Answer 6

this is goog thing about these fuels
