Humans burn fossil fuels primarily for energy production, as they are a major source of electricity and heat for homes, industries, and transportation. Additionally, fossil fuels are integral to various industrial processes, providing raw materials for the manufacturing of chemicals, plastics, and other products. Finally, their high energy density and established infrastructure make fossil fuels a convenient and often cheaper option compared to renewable energy sources.
What else can I help you with?
Why are fossil fuels and biomass useful sources of energy?
They both burn easily with lots of heat.
Why are fossil fuel and biomass useful as source of energy?
They both burn easily with lots of heat.
What harmful gas is being released when engines burn fossil fuels?
Carbon monoxide is released.
What is nuclear energy if it is not nonrenewable and not a fossil fuel?
It is nonrenewable!! Once we burn up all the Uranium we have no more.
What are fossil fuels for?
Fossil fuels are coal, natural gas, and oil.. etc. They are generally used to produce engergy to power equipment, cars, lights.. Plastic is made from refined oil I believe, as is gasoline. Coal has been used for generations to burn for heat too!
What are three technologies that burn fossil fuels?
things such as cars plans and certain factories burn fossil fuels
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 three fossil fuels do you burn to provide electric energy?
coal, gas and oil
When humans burn fossil fuels what is released back.into the atmosphere?
When humans burn fossil fuels, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and other greenhouse gases are released back into the atmosphere. These gases contribute to the greenhouse effect, trapping heat and causing global warming and climate change.
When human burn fossil fuels what is released back into the atmosphere?
When humans burn fossil fuels, carbon dioxide (CO2) is released back into the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming and climate change.
Name four ways that humans burn fossil fuels?
Some common ways that humans burn fossil fuels include driving cars with internal combustion engines, generating electricity in power plants, heating buildings with furnaces, and using fossil fuels as fuel for industrial processes.
When humans burn fossil fuels called?
When humans burn fossil fuels, the process is called combustion. This chemical reaction releases energy in the form of heat and light, producing carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other pollutants as byproducts. Combustion of fossil fuels is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change and air pollution.
How does carbon and nitrogen affect the atmosphere?
Carbon affects the atmosphere when humans burn fossil fuels into the air and other chemicals
When humans burn fossil fuels which will increase?
Fossil fuels produce large quantities of carbon dioxide when burned. Carbon emissions trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to climate change.
What three fossil fuels do Americans burn?
coal (solid)petroleum (liquid)natural gas (gas)
When humans burn fossils what is released back into the atmosphere?
When humans burn fossil fuels, such as gasoline or coal, they release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases contribute to global warming and climate change by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
Does a fossil fuel burn in the air?
All fuels that 'burn' require air or an oxygen source for combustion. Therefore,fossil fuel also burn in the air.
