A number of gases are emitted but the main gasses are Oxides of Nitrogen and CO2.
These gases may react with other gasses in our atmosphere to cause further issues such as tropospheric ozone.
I believe the term "fossil fuels" is used for things that burn, in a chemical reaction - like coal and petroleum. Also, "fossil fuels" implies that the fuel is the remainder of fossils - as is believed to be the case with petroleum and coal.I believe the term "fossil fuels" is used for things that burn, in a chemical reaction - like coal and petroleum.

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.
By cutting down the amount of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) we burn.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas released from burnt fossil fuels. It is the most significant gas contributing to global warming.
Fossil fuels include oil, gas, coal, and all other products that are derived from fossil fuels and used as an energy source. Fossil fuels release energy when they are burned. Take your car for example. You put gas in your car, and your engine burns the fuel and converts the potential energy of the fossil fuel into heat energy, and the heat energy into kenetic energy, and your car goes. Although pg&e is now using some renewable energy sources as well, the majority of our electricity comes from fossil fuels. The fossil fuel is burned, and the energy that is released is converted into electromagnetic energy, another word for electricity. A simpler example is gas, like the gas that is used in a gas stove. The gas is a fossil fuel, and it is burned. When it is burned it releases heat and light.
The main gases given off when you burn fossil fuels, such as coil, oil and natural gas, are carbon dioxide and water vapour. Both are greenhouse gases, but the water vapour quickly falls out of the atmosphere.
Natual gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel.

When fossil fuels burn, oxygen is used as the gas that reacts with the carbon in the fuel to produce carbon dioxide. This process is known as combustion and is the reason why carbon dioxide is released as a byproduct of burning fossil fuels.
coal, gas and oil
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Carbon monoxide is released.
Fossil fuels.
When humans burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) they release carbon dioxide (CO2). This is one of the greenhouse gases which is causing global warming and climate change. This burning of fossil fuels happens in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.
When humans burn fossil fuels, carbon dioxide (CO2) is released back into the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming and climate change.
Because we continue to burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
