Man I can't believe this, I just googled this to find the answer to my environment & ecology test I take tomorrow. That is the Exact same question I have. If you need more help, I found a page with the Exact questions I have WITH ANSWERS(at the bottom). I :

What else can I help you with?
Which process moves carbon stored in fossil fuel into another carbon reservoir?
The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon that has been stored underground into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. This process is known as the combustion of fossil fuels.
Which gas is used when fossil fuels burn carbon dioxide or oxygen?
When fossil fuels burn, oxygen is used as the gas that reacts with the carbon in the fuel to produce carbon dioxide. This process is known as combustion and is the reason why carbon dioxide is released as a byproduct of burning fossil fuels.
Is crude oil the cleanest burning fossil fuel?
No, the cleanest is Natural gas. Natural gas (methane (CH4)) is the cleanest burning fuel, emitting the smallest amount of carbon dioxide of all the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Why does burning wood and burning fossil fuels produce similar pollutants?
Burning fossil fuels and burning wood produce similar pollutants because wood and fossil fuels are both consist of hydrogen and carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced when burning wood and fossil fuel.
When people burn fossils fuels do they send oxygen into the air?
No, burning fossil fuel takes free oxygen from the air. The fuel contains carbon and hydrogen, and the burning process unites carbon with oxygen, and also hydrogen with oxygen. Both these chemical process produce a lot of heat, which is used to drive a heat-engine, which can be a gasoline or diesel engine or a steam turbine or a gas turbine.The formation of these chemical bonds generates CO2 and H2O, also known as carbon dioxide and water, which are the major products of burning fossil fuel. In round numbers, burning 1 kg of fuel takes 3.5 kg of oxyen from the air, and generates 3.1 kg of CO2 plus 1.4 kg of water; and about 50 MJ of heat energy is generated.In the average car engine, about 25% of the heat energy produced is converted into mechanical energy to drive the car.
Which process moves carbon stored in fossil fuel into another carbon reservoir?
The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon that has been stored underground into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. This process is known as the combustion of fossil fuels.
What is another word for burning of fossil fuel?
Combustion is the term given to burning a fuel, very often fossil fuels.
Carbon monoxide may be produced in the process of burning of fossil fuels?
If the burning is incomplete it will. Ideally perfect burning of fuel produces water vapor and carbon dioxide.
Explain why wood is a fuel but not a fossil fuel?
Wood is a fuel as it can provide energy by burning. But, it is not formed by fossils and hence not called a fossil fuel.
What fossil fuels burn?
Natual gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel.
What is caused by burning to much fossil fuel?
Pollution.
What gas occurs while burning fossil fuels?
carbon dioxide and water vapor are the two gases in the correct and complete combustion of any fossil fuel. Other byproduct can occur if the process is not perfect. Carbon Monoxide is one of the chief gases from incomplete burning. Many other gases can be released during the burning process that are not an actual part of the combustion. They vary depending on the fuel.
Carbon in fossil fuel is obtained from plants by the process of?
Fossil fuel is obtained from plants by the process of photosynthesis.
Word equation for burning fossil fuels?
Burning fossil fuels results in the combustion of hydrocarbons, releasing carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The general chemical equation for burning a hydrocarbon fuel is hydrocarbon + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy.
What fossil fuel is the cleanest burning fuel?
Natural gas (methane (CH4)) is the cleanest burning fuel, emitting the smallest amount of carbon dioxide of all the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Why do cars let out fumes?
That is the byproduct from burning fossil fuel.
How does burning fossil fuel affect animals?
it destroys habitats
