Does all wood burn?

Except for petrified wood (wood that has turned to stone) all wood will burn. Some burns easier than others, some gives off more heat, and some woods are poisonous, and should not be burned- but all wood is capable of burning.


What were some negative effects of rapid industrial growth?

Some negative effects of rapid industrial growth are mainly to do with destruction of the environment. Some of the activities include development which means clearing of vegetation and forests a well as increase in burning of fossil fuels among others.


What problems could there be if you rely too much on fossil fuels for energy?

The main problem with fossil fuels is that there is a limited amount of them. At some point we are going to run out. Now this isn't going to happen anytime soon but at some point we will run out of fossil fuels. The other problem of course is that burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide which is building up in the atmosphere causing global warming and climate change.


Are all theories completely accepted or completely rejected?

Both. Some are still being tested.


Why did some of the light bulbs you tried burn out?

Some of the light bulbs I tried may have burned out due to manufacturing defects, such as faulty filaments or poor connections. Others might have been exposed to voltage fluctuations or overheating, which can shorten their lifespan. Additionally, if the bulbs were used in fixtures not compatible with their wattage, this could also lead to premature failure. Lastly, frequent on-and-off cycling can stress the filament, causing it to burn out faster.

As you burn fossil fuels does the earth lose weight?

Burning fossil fuels does not cause the earth to lose weight. The chemical changes caused by the combustion of fuels destroy some compounds and create others. But in the end, all the matter we started with is still here in one form or another. Every atom.


Why do fuels not all release the same amount of energy when they burn?

The amount of energy released when a fuel burns depends on its chemical composition. Fuels with more carbon and hydrogen atoms per unit mass release more energy when burned because they undergo more exothermic reactions during combustion. Additionally, factors like the presence of impurities and the efficiency of combustion can also affect the amount of energy released.


What devices use fossil fuels as an energy resource?

Devices that use fossil fuels as an energy resource include cars, trucks, airplanes, generators, and some heating systems. These devices burn fossil fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and natural gas to produce energy for their intended purposes.

What do you know about fuel?

Fuels are the substances that burn to produce heat and light energy. Some commonly used fuels are wood, coal, petrol, diesel, kerosene, LPG & CNG. Fuels are used for cooking in automobiles and to generate electricity.On the basis of their physical state, fuels have been divided into three categories:Solid fuelsLiquid fuelsGaseous fuels


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.


What is put in a car to make it go?

Automotive fuels include gasoline, diesel and alcohol. Less typically the fuels may be natural gas, methane, propane or butane. Some cars do not burn fuels but use electricity from storage batteries to provide energy. Historically there have been external combustion automobiles that could burn almost any fuel to generate steam for energy. Some military vehicles can be fueled with ammonia.


Are there fuels which are not fossils fuels?

Yes! There are because fossil fuel have to be made up of decayed animal or plant parts. Some are not because they are naturally made differently. Others, are forged so, they are TECHNICALLY not real fossil fuels, though, some may consider them...


Why is it difficult to burn hydrocarbons fuels?

I think it because there is more energy needed in order to break down the bonds in the hydrocarbon. Making it less efficient for fuels
