What cycle is most affected when burning of fossil fuels by cars and factories?

The carbon cycle is most affected by the burning of fossil fuels. When fossil fuels are burnt, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming. This disrupts the natural balance of the carbon cycle, leading to various environmental impacts.


How much fossil fuels are burnt every year?

Approximately 11 billion metric tons of fossil fuels are burned every year, contributing to the release of greenhouse gases and driving climate change. This includes coal, oil, and natural gas used for electricity generation, transportation, and industrial processes.


The burning of fossil fuels from factories releases a gas that is part of the?

Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in factories releases carbon dioxide, a gas that is part of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These increased levels of greenhouse gases are causing global warming and climate change.


Why is burning fossil fuels are a bad thing?

Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, which contribute to global warming and climate change. It also produces air pollutants that can harm human health and the environment. Additionally, fossil fuels are a finite resource, so relying on them for energy is not sustainable in the long term.


Which element present as an impurity in fossil fuels causes acid rain?

There are at least two elements which when burnt contribute to acid rain. Sulfur which when burnt and mixed with rain water forms sulphuric acid H2SO4 and Carbon which when burnt and mixed with water forms carbonic acid H2CO3 Both of these acids can be formed by burning Fossil fuels and also form naturally in the gases discharged by volcanoes.
