What is a true fossil?

A True form fossil is a fossil of the whole/entire body of the organism.


How might an increased use of alternate energy sources such as wind and solar radiation affect the lifetime of fossil fuel resources?

If we use more alternate energy, then we will use less fossil fuel energy, so fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) will have a longer life time.Anything and EVERYTHING that will have a detrimental impact upon the use of fossil fuels may just increase 'Our Life Time'.


How does electricity reduce the use of fossil fuels?

Electricity does not inherently reduce the use of fossil fuels -- in fact, the production of electric energy is one of the biggest uses of fossil fuels. There are two ways that electric power can reduce the use of fossil fuels: Efficiency improvements, and alternate power sources. Efficiency improvements: * By replacing thousands of relatively inefficient fossil-fuel-burning engines with thousands of electric motors and a couple of highly efficient centralized fossil-fuel-burning electric power plants, the same amount of mechanical work requires less fossil fuel. * By using a microwave oven to cook food rather than a gas or electric conventional oven, only enough energy is used to heat the food itself, rather than heating up the internal structure of the oven and the air it contains, and maintaining that temperature for a longer time. Alternate power sources: Power can be produced in several ways that require no fossil fuels -- see the "What can you use instead of fossil fuels?" question below. Converting those forms of energy to electric power makes it easier to reduce or -- in principle -- eliminate the fossil fuel that otherwise would have been used to produce that electric power.


What would happen if there was an increase in the amount of fossil fuels burned?

An increase in the burning of fossil fuels would lead to higher greenhouse gas emissions, primarily carbon dioxide, exacerbating climate change and its associated impacts, such as extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and biodiversity loss. Air quality would also deteriorate, resulting in increased health issues like respiratory diseases and cardiovascular problems. Additionally, reliance on fossil fuels could further strain energy resources and contribute to geopolitical tensions over energy supplies.


What kind of fossil leaves a body impression?

This is called a trace fossil. or a mold.

Do heaters pollute the air?

Heaters can potentially contribute to air pollution, depending on the fuel source they use. For example, heaters that burn fossil fuels like gas, oil, or coal can release pollutants such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter into the air. Electric heaters are generally cleaner and more environmentally friendly. Regular maintenance and proper ventilation can help reduce air pollution from heaters.


Are carbon monoxide levels higher during cold weather?

They tend to be, but not as a direct result of the weather. When it is cold we tend to run furnaces and heaters that usually run on fossil fuels such as natural gas. Burning these fuels produces carbon monoxide.


What what is the Cambrian explosion?

How are fossil fuels used?

Fossil Fuels are used for applications that require Thermal Energy (burning of fuel). Some examples are: Gas Heaters Oil Heaters Internal Combustion Engines Steam Production Diesel Locomotives Jet Engines


If more fossil fuels are burned you could expect an increase in what?

increase in CO2 and diminishing of Ozone layer


Do electric baseboards heaters cause soot?

Electric baseboard heaters are not supposed to cause soot. However; dust settles on the elements. When the electricity is turned on, the dust will burn off. There will be a trace of soot from that dust.


Fill in the blank Burning such as coal or natural gas can increase the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Burning fossil fuels such as coal or natural gas can increase the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.


What are the steps taken to produce electricity using fossil fuels?

Fossil fuel (coal) is burnt in furnaces. The heat produced turns water into steam. The steam is fed through steam turbine generators. It is these generators that produce electricity. This electricity is fed onto the national grid.


An increase in the average level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is most likely caused by an increase in the?

Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
