How do fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere for 6th graders?
Fossil fuels are mainly made up from hydrogen and carbon atoms. When you burn them the oxygen in air chemically reacts with the hydrogen and carbon to produce carbon dioxide and water.
What process releases carbon into the atmosphere from fossil fuels?
Combustion. Fossil fuels contain carbon, hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen and some other elements. But the largest is Carbon. So when such fuels burn they combine with the Oxygen and Nitrogen in air to form Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen oxides etc. Any form of carbon when burns produces carbon dioxide.
By what process is the carbon in fossil fuels released into the atmosphere?
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
What process is the carbon in fossil fuels released into the atmosphere?
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
How does burning less fossil fuels reduce the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere?
When you burn fossil fuels to make enrgy, carbon dioxide is released. So, if you burn less fossil fuels, less carbon dioxide is released.
Do fossil fuels contribute to the carbon dioxide and oxygen cycle?
yes
What does the burning of fossil fuels release into the carbon-oxygen cycle?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Which belongs in the blank space of the chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels below fossil fuel oxygen gas?
Fossil fuel + Oxygen gas > Carbon dioxide + water + heat (apex)
How do fossil fuels release carbons into the atmosphere?
As fossil fuels are made up of Carbon and Hydrogen. This burns in oxygen (in air) to form Carbon dioxide and Water, so the carbon dioxide is released into the air
When people burn fossil fuels is the carbon released as oxygen?
No, it is released as carbon dioxide and water.
How does fossil fuels make pollution?
Fossil fuels let out toxic gases like carbon dioxide. When this mixes with oxygen it causes pollution.

Is carbon dioxide released by fossil fuel formation?
No, formation of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.Burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide.
What chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels Apex?
The general equation for burning/combusting fossil fuels is:- fossil fuel + oxygen(air) = Carbon dioxide and Water.
Word equation for burning fossil fuels?
Fossil Fuel+oxygen =>carbon dioxide +water Fossil fuel +02 => C02 +H20
By what process is the carbon in fossil fuels released into the atmosphere?
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
