The emission from the use of fossil fuels contributes to air pollution by releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, leading to climate change and global warming. It also contributes to health issues like respiratory conditions and long-term environmental degradation.

Why is it wrong to say that fossil fuels are stores of light energy?

It's wrong to say this because it is inaccurate. Fossil fuels are stores of potential energy which can be converted (through combustion) into heat energy. Light energy is the energy that gives off light, but fossil fuels do not give off light.


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 slows down the use of fossil fuels?

Regulations on emissions, technological advancements for renewable energy sources, and consumer awareness of climate change are factors that can slow down the use of fossil fuels. Additionally, the increasing costs associated with extracting and using fossil fuels can also impact their use.


What is bad about fossil fules?

Fossil fuels are bad for the enviorment because: 1.When you burn fossil fuels you give off pollution 2.That pollution goes into the atmosphere 3.The pollution that got into the atmosphere will add to the ozone layer and make it hotter on Earth These are reasons that fossil fuels are bad for the enviorment.


What is a reason for not using fossil fuels?

1. using fossil fuels may be a contributor to global warming 2. mining fossil fuels is harmful to the environment 3. our supply of fossil fuels is limited therefore the price for them will go up as fossil fuels run out 4. sometime in the future society will have to transfer to an alternative energy supply, (i.e. renewable energy, nuclear, hydrogen) so using alternative fuels now can help the transition so we can be completely weaned off of fossil fuels once they run out. 5. buying oil from the Middle East is funding their terrorist activity 6. the pollution caused by burning fossil fuels obviously isn't good for people to breath and is causing many health problems
