What does a fossil fuel burning electrical plant produce that Niagara Falls does not?
Carbon dioxide.
Niagara falls produces electric power from the kinetic energy of water falling through a large vertical drop. This process does not produce carbon dioxide so does not put huge amounts of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere.

Do Termites produce more CO2 than human's burning of fossil fuels?
No, termites do not produce more CO2 than human burning of fossil fuels. It is estimated that human burning of fossil fuels is the largest source of CO2 emissions, contributing significantly to climate change. Termites do produce some CO2 as part of their natural digestion process, but it is not on the same scale as human activities.
Why does burning wood and burning fossil fuels produce the same substance?
The main content is the same. Of the wood is carbon and hydrogen, and that of fossil fuels is hydrogen and carbon. So when wood and fossil fuels are burnt the Carbon combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, and the hydrogen combines with oxygen to produce water (H2O). C+O2--> CO2+CO
What chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels?
Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
Does barbecuing produce carbon dioxide?
Any burning of wood, charcoal, coal, gas, propane or butane produced carbon dioxide/ These are the common BBQ fuels, so yes BBQs produce carbon dioxide. Even electrical BBQs get their power from fossil fuelled power plants and have a carbon dioxide impact.
What is the primary source of sulfur dioxide?
Volcanoes produce more sulfur dioxide than any other cause. Some sulfur dioxide is also release from the burning of sulfur-rich fossil fuels.
Could a fossil fuel produce electricity?
Sure, much of the world's electricity is obtained by burning fossil fuels.

Why does burning wood and burning fossil fuels produce similar pollutants?
Burning fossil fuels and burning wood produce similar pollutants because wood and fossil fuels are both consist of hydrogen and carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced when burning wood and fossil fuel.
How is waste used as a type of fuel?
It can be used in incinerators which produce heat as for burning fossil fuels.
Why is it goood to have nuclear power staions?
They don't produce pollution like burning fossil fuels does
Almost all electrical energy is produced as a result of hydroelectric power?
NO. Almost all electrical energy is produced as a result of burning fossil fuels.
Is fossil fuel used to produce hydroelectric power?
No, hydroelectric power is produced from the movement of water spinning a turbine. Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) produce energy by burning.
How can you produce energy apart from burning fossil fuels?
Apart from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), we produce electricity from renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).
How do burning fossil fuels produce electricity?
They are used to run most of the power plantsthat generate electricity.
How does how fossil fuels produce electricity or fuel?
Fossil fuels produce electricity when they are burned to make steam or smoke which turns generators to make electricity. But we must be careful that we are not burning too much fossil fuels so that we will run out one day. :)
What fossil fuel is used to produce the greatest amount of energy in the world?
Coal accounts for most of the (electrical) energy provided by fossil fuels globally.
