When you burn fossil fuels what gas is given off?
The main gases given off when you burn fossil fuels, such as coil, oil and natural gas, are carbon dioxide and water vapour. Both are greenhouse gases, but the water vapour quickly falls out of the atmosphere.
What is adding to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today?
Human activities such as burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as deforestation and industrial processes, are the main sources of carbon dioxide emissions that are contributing to the increase in the atmosphere.
What is the name given to the burning process of fossil fuels?
Combustion is basically OXIDATION.
Why are fossil fuels increasing year by year?
Fossil fuels are not increasing year by year. However, the known reserves of fossil fuels may be increasing, depending on the success of exploration efforts and the rate of depletion of the reserves. Also, reserves are divided into producible and non-producible portions, with the distinction based on what is considered economical to extract given current prices. As the producible portion is used up and as extraction technology improves, the dividing line between producible and non-producible moves and the producible portion may grow.
What is the diference between fossil fuels and renewable fuels?
Not as of yet. Most renewable energy sources are still expensive and many are not yet ready for large scale use. Some, such as hydroelectric, are comparable to fossil fuel costs. When this happens, you will see companies naturally migrate to the renewables. Sometimes companies will even start migrating early, providing that some form of mandate or financial incentive is given. Wind is one example. The logic is that if we build enough wind systems, the technology will evovle faster. There is evidence that this evolution is occurring.

What are the name of the gases that are given off by fossil fuels?
well your ooking for an answer for your homework lol not giving you it p.s follow me on twitter @harajuku barbie ,
What are the gases and particles given off when fossil fuels are burned?
When fossil fuels are burned, they release gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. Additionally, fine particles or particulate matter, as well as volatile organic compounds, can also be emitted into the air. These pollutants contribute to air pollution and can have negative impacts on human health and the environment.
What other name is given to carbon based fuels?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What is present in the smoke and fumes given off when fossil fuels are burned?
carbon dioxcide :)
What is another word for burning of fossil fuel?
Combustion is the term given to burning a fuel, very often fossil fuels.
Which gas is given off when fossil fuels burn?
A number of gases are emitted but the main gasses are Oxides of Nitrogen and CO2. These gases may react with other gasses in our atmosphere to cause further issues such as tropospheric ozone.
Why is the percentage of carbon dioxide in the air so low when so much is given off through burning fossil fuels?
Don't concentrate on how carbon dioxide competes with other gases such as Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Argon in the total percentages but rather the change in the percentage of carbon dioxide in the air over time. It is generally agreed that carbon dioxide levels are higher now than ever before due to fossil fuels.
What type of energy is given off by the fossil fuels and used to boil the water?
Fossil fuels release thermal energy when burned, which is used to boil water in power plants to create steam. This steam then drives turbines to generate electricity.
What does Alternative energy cannot effectively replace fossil fuels mean?
It means there is no alternative energy source that can ween humanity off of fossil fuels. Which is presently true, however, given almost every developed nation is pooling their resources to replace fossil fuels, that isn't a timeless answer. Before the latter half of this century, gasoline and every other form, will or begin to exist only in history.
The energy given off by burning fossil fuels can be measured in?
If you refer to the units, energy is measured in joules.If you refer to the units, energy is measured in joules.If you refer to the units, energy is measured in joules.If you refer to the units, energy is measured in joules.
What is the name given to type of resources that have limited source?
Renewable energy sources. Whereas resources that have a limited source are called fossil fuels.
