Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases long hidden carbon dioxide (CO2). This extra CO2 adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, producing an enhanced greenhouse effect.

The combustion of fossil fuels such as car fuel releases carbon dioxide. Initially, any heat produced on earth will be released out to the outer space but excessive present of carbon dioxide will trap this heat onto the surrounding environment and not able to be excreted to the outer space. The trapped heat will increase the earth temperature and it contribute to the greenhouse effect. Prolonged greenhouse effect will cause global warming.

What is the relationship between fossil fuels and the greenhouse effect Burning fossil fuels?

Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat and contribute to the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change. Reducing the use of fossil fuels is crucial in mitigating the impact of climate change.


What is the difference between the Greenhouse Effect and fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources that can be burned to get energy. The Greenhouse Effect is, in part, the result of burning fossil fuels. In this example, fossil fuels would be a causative agent that creates an effect on the environment, specifically, the Earth's atmosphere.


The greenhouse effect can be enhanced by your use of fossil fuels?

true


What is the relationship between Power Plants and Greenhouse gases?

Power plants are usually powered by fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). The burning of fossil fuels in industry, transport and the generation of electricity emits carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas. So there is a direct relationship.


How is the Greenhouse effect linked to the burning of fossil fuels?

Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun within the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect. This effect causes global temperatures to rise, resulting in climate change and other environmental impacts.


How does the burning of fossil increase the greenhouse effect?

by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere


What intensifies the greenhouse effect?

Adding additional greenhouse gases to the atmosphere intensifies the greenhouse effect. We are doing this by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which releases carbon dioxide.


How are fossil fuels and forrests linked to the greenhouse effect?

when you burn fossil fuels you get greenhouse gasses but that causes global warming so that causes two damages to the earth and enviorment.


What is the link between the greenhouse effect and industrialization?

The Industrial Revolution, when we first seriously began burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), marks the beginning of the enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect.The normal greenhouse effect has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years. The enhanced greenhouse effect is causing global warming and climate change.


Is natural gas the major cause of the greenhouse effect?

In terms of greenhouse effect, natural gas is more benign than coal or oil, because it provides a greater heating effect per unit of carbon dioxide produced. It is therefore not the major cause of the greenhouse effect.


Is pollution a part of the greenhouse effect?

Carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels are referred to as pollution because of the powerful effect they have in causing an enhanced greenhouse effect which is responsible for global warming.


How does the burning fossil fuels increase the greenhouse effect?

by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
