What do you mean when you say that fossil fuels are nonrewnewable?
Fossil fuels are non-renewable because we don´t make them. We dig them up out of the ground. We don´t know how much fossil fuel we will be able to find in the ground, but we do know that it is not infinite. It takes thousands of years for fossil fuels to be made in the ground, and we are using them at a much faster rate, and we will therefore, someday, run out of it. Renewable energy sources include solar power, which will be available as long as our sun keeps burning. For our purposes, this is pretty much infinite.
How much fossil fuels can wind turbines use in one day?
Wind turbines do not use any fossil fuels to operate as they generate electricity from the wind. The amount of electricity generated depends on the wind speed and turbine efficiency, not on fossil fuel consumption.
Why is fossil fuels worse then hydroelectric power?
Fossil fuels are worst than hydroelectric power because when they are burnt to harness their energy, they release CO2, a greenhouse gas, this enhances the effects of global warming and as once fossil fuels have been mined and burnt, they are gone and will not reacumilate again for millions of years whereas hydroelectricity doesn't burn any carbon, releasing no CO2 and hydroelectricity's original source of power will never run out, making it much more efficient.
How does the use of fossil fuels damage the environment?
Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide that contribute to global warming and climate change. Extraction of fossil fuels can lead to habitat destruction, water pollution, and deforestation. Additionally, oil spills from transportation can harm marine life and ecosystems.
How much of Ontario energy is generated from fossil fuels?
Approximately 60% of the energy generated in Ontario comes from fossil fuels, predominantly natural gas and nuclear power. Renewables such as hydroelectric, wind, and solar make up the remainder.
Why does it matter if you burn fossil fuels?
When we burn fossil fuels, that fossil fuel is gone. *POOF!* And it'll take millions of years for the nonrenewable resource to form again. Therefore we need to conserve fossil fuels as much as possible.
What fuel's when burn add to the greenhouse effect?
coal, oil, in other words pretty much any fossil fuel (fossil fuels are fuels that came from ancient plant, animal, or bacterial life)
How would fossil fuels change in the future?
The fossil fuels will become extinct in some years.There is no future of fossil fuels.That is why there is so much research going on the alternate fuels.
What are some drawbacks of using fossil fuels?
something that is bad about fossil fuels is that it makes to much polution and it is unreplaceable
Why won't fossil fuels last forever?
Fossil Fuels are created when the remains of plants and creatures are put under extreme pressure for extremely long periods of time. There Isn't an infinite amount of vegetation and creatures that lived that long ago, therefore there isn't an infinite amount of Fossil Fuels.
Why is carbon dioxide a pollution?
Carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels is polluting the atmosphere causing an overload to the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere. We burn fossil fuels to generate electricity and to drive transport. So much extra CO2 is causing global warming.
How does solar energy reduce the use of fossil fuels?
Most countries burn fossil fuels to generate electricity.If they used solar power to generate electricity, thenThey would not have to use so much fossil fuel.Solar Energy itself does not reduce the use of fossil fuels. But the use of solar energy should hopefully reduce the need of fossil fuels to create energy, so therefore the more we can use solar power as an energy source instead of fossil fuels, the more we reduce the use of fossil fuels.
How do fossil fuels relate to the destruction of forest by Acid Rain?
yes very much so it comes from burning fossil fuels
What is alternative fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels come from fossilied plant matter in the ground. Alternative fuels are alternatives to fossil fuels, and these are mainly carbon fuels that take their carbon from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (as fossil fuels do) but on a carbon cycle with a much shorter term. An example is wood, which can be burned as more trees are growing and absorbing carbon dioxide.
How much fossil fuels does a blue whale have?
This question makes no sense ! Blue Whales feed on plankton - they don't contain fossil fuels !
Do power plants burn fossil fuels?
Some power plants do. Any plant that burns oil, coal, or gas from underground resources could be considered a "fossil fuel" plant. There are however nuclear, solar, hydro-electric and wind powered power plants.
How much fossil fuels does California use in a year?
20,000
