When fossil fuels are burned, they release smoke and DUST. The dust then blocks the pores found in leaves of trees blocking of pores prevents trees from breathing thus the plant withers and die.

Is burning wood for energy better than burning fossil fuels for energy?

No,because the trees are limited and used for oxygen.


Which greenhouse gas has increased as a direct result of burning fossil fuels and deforestation?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the greenhouse gas that has increased as a direct result of burning fossil fuels and deforestation. The burning of fossil fuels releases large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, while deforestation reduces the Earth's capacity to absorb CO2 through trees and vegetation.


What is affected by fossil fuels?

The Earth's atmosphere is affected by fossil fuels. This causes global warming and acid rains. Acid rains destroy the trees and buildings. Global warming and climate change affects the harvests of fruits and vegetables. It also melts the ice bergs in Antarctica and the Arctic Circle, raising the sea level and islands can disappear into the ocean.


How do you fight global warming?

Stop burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Plant billions of trees.


Which processes transfer carbon into the atmosphere?

The burning of fossil fuels and deforestation are the main processes that transfer carbon into the atmosphere. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the air, while deforestation reduces the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.


What do fossil fuels decay from?

Trees


Is there a solution to the antarctic global warming?

Yes, we must move to renewable energy, stop burning fossil fuels and plant billions of trees.


What are humans doing to add to the green house gas effect?

burning fossil fuels, chopping down trees and generally killing the environment


How are placing limits on water usage the burning of fossil fuels and the cutting of trees the same?

They are not the same. Placing limits on water use is a localised regulation to make sure your town doesn't run out of water. The burning of fossil fuels and the cutting down of trees are the two factors that are causing global warming. A much more serious issue!


What are three activities that release carbon dioxide?

Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricityBreathingRotting trees and vegetation.


Can dead birds cause burning fossil fuels?

No. Fossil fuels like coal and petroleum result due to the carbonization process that occurs during the "fossilization" of trees and plant matter. The meat of a dead bird would not produce any fossil fuels. The death and decomposition of a bird will release greenhouse gasses, just like fossil fuels do when burned for energy, but this does not make the bird a fossil fuel since there is no fuel (for human use) derived from this activity.


Does global warming have anything to do with trees?

Trees remove carbon dioxide from the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Deforestation means that there are no longer enough trees to remove the excess carbon from our burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
