How do cars effect the air quality from the fossil fuels?
The pollution from the cars is hazardous to the air quality from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels have to burn a lot of gas and coal in order for cars to get driving.
Which gas is used when fossil fuels burn carbon dioxide or oxygen?
Oxygen is used and CO2 is produced.
Is geothermal energy a fossil fuel?
No. Fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas. Geothermal energy is a clean renewable energy powered by the heat from the centre of the earth. It is the only renewable energy whose power does not come from the sun.
What gases and given out when fossil fuels are burnt?
Gasses produced from fossil fuels are many, such as what was known as coal gas (acetylene), CO2, CO, and many others that are formed with impurities found in fossil fuels as sulphur which can produces several toxic gasses within itself.
Identify the three main types of fossil fuels used in the United States and state two ways we use fossil fuels today?
The three main types of fossil fuel used in the US (and everywhere):CoalOilNatural gas (methane).Two ways of using fossil fuels today:We burn fossil fuel to generate electricity.We burn oil to power vehicles (cars, trucks, trains, ships and planes).
What fossil fuels burn?
Natual gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel.
What is added into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels?
Carbon dioxide is the greenhouse gas added to the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
How do cars effect the air quality from the fossil fuels?
The pollution from the cars is hazardous to the air quality from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels have to burn a lot of gas and coal in order for cars to get driving.
What three fossil fuels do Americans burn?
coal (solid)petroleum (liquid)natural gas (gas)
What three fossil fuels do you burn to provide electric energy?

What other name is given to carbon based fuels?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What can you burn that will increase the amount of greenhouse gasses?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What harmful gas is being released when engines burn fossil fuels?
Carbon monoxide is released.
When humans burn fossil fuels what happens?
When humans burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) they release carbon dioxide (CO2). This is one of the greenhouse gases which is causing global warming and climate change. This burning of fossil fuels happens in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.
What are the advantages of natural gas energy?
Natural. gas doesn't burn wood or fossil fuels, so it is healthier for the planet.
How do fossil fuels turn into natural gas?
Natural gas is a fossil fuel. Other fossil fuels do not "turn into" natural gas.
Why is global warming high?
Because we continue to burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
