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.


Do fossil fuels produce CO2 and water when they burn?

Yes, fossil fuels produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) when they burn. The combustion process involves the reaction of the carbon and hydrogen in the fossil fuels with oxygen in the air, resulting in the formation of CO2 and water vapor as byproducts.
