What do you capitalitalize in when a car is driven the gasoline it burns as fuel releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
when a car is driven, the gasoline it burns as fuel releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Burning fossil fuel releases?
It releases CO2, which is carbon dioxide. They might also release methane
Using which type of fuel released carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Biomass
Why is there an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
burning fossil fuels
Can fossil fuels contain energy that came from the sun?
Yes it does. The Sun's energy is used to drive photosynthesis in plants. Carbon dioxide is absorbed from the atmosphere by green plants, and the energy is used to separate carbon and oxygen atoms from the carbon dioxide, a process which absorbs energy. The plant uses the carbon to build tissues like leaves, stem etc., and most of the oxygen is released into the air. This process originally made mammal life possible. Millions of years later those plants have decomposed and fossilised, and formed oil underground, which is brought up and used as fuel. The carbon in the fuel and oxygen from the atmosphere are recombined by burning the fuel. Re-forming the carbon-oxygen atomic bonds releases the stored energy as heat and generates carbon dioxide. The heat drives an engine and the carbon dioxide is released in the exhaust gases. This is what happens when carbon fuel such as coal, oil and gas are used as fuel.

When a car is driven the gasoline it burns as fuel releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Is this correct?
That is correct. Gasoline is a fossil fuel and when it burns it releases carbon dioxide and water. If it doesn't burn completely, then some carbon monoxide is released as well.
What are some items that emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Anything that is part of the carbon cycle releases carbon dioxide which moves in and out of the atmosphere, trees, oceans, animals and land.Anything that is part of the fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) industry releases carbon dioxide most of which remains in the atmosphere, building up. Examples are: factories, vehicles and power plants.
What process caused the atmosphere's composition to change so much?
Burning fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas which is building up in the atmosphere.
What does it mean to say that algae fuel is carbon neutral?
Carbon neutral means that algae fuel does not affect the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Algae takes in carbon dioxide as it grows, then, when the fuel is burnt, this same carbon dioxide is released. No increase, just exactly the same amount. This is why biofuel is so much better than fossil fuel which releases carbon that had been hidden underground for millions of years, so adding to the levels in the atmosphere.
What is one disadvantage of using natural gas as fuel?
It releases long-hidden carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, so it is contributing to climate change.
Which energy sources produce carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide?
Burning coal (a fossil fuel) releases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
Should gasoline and carbon dioxide be capitalized in a sentence?
" When a car is driven the gasoline it burns as fuel release carbon dioxide into atmosphere" as stated in your question is properly capitalized. If the same sentence were properly punctuated, and used all the correct wording, it would read like this: "When a car is driven, the gasoline it burns as fuel releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere."
Which type of fuel release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity releases carbon dioxide.
What adds less carbon dioxide to the atmosphere than burning fossil fuels?
Burning any fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide. Burning bio-fuels is more or less carbon neutral since the carbon dioxide used to grow the plant material is taken from the atmosphere, which goes back to the atmosphere after the fuel is burned. It is essentially biologically stored solar energy. The cleanest energy sources are solar, wind, tidal, hydro-electric, and nuclear.
Is carbon dioxide a gas from fossil fuel?
Yes, the burning of any fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide. This is what is causing global warming and climate change.
Burning fossil fuel releases?
It releases CO2, which is carbon dioxide. They might also release methane
