What type of fossil fuel is created from natural gas and petroleum?

The type of fossil fuel created from natural gas and petroleum is oil. When these two fossil fuels are subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years, they transform into oil deposits that can be extracted for energy use.


Fosil fuels are made in what type of rock?

Fossil fuels are found in sedimentary rocks, which are formed from the accumulation and compression of plant and animal remains over millions of years. Common fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas were created from the decay of organic matter in these rocks.


Why are fossil fuels 'finite' and 'non-renewable'?

Fossil fuels are a specific type of fuel that is made up of prehistoric animals and plants. This type of fuel is considered finite and non-renewable because they take millions of years to create.


What type of combustion fuels produces the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide?

All carbon based fuels produce carbon dioxide when burned. These include:fossil fuels (coal. oil, natural gas)alcoholsbio-fuels (wood, charcoal, waste burning including cremation)specialty industrial fuels (acetylene etc.)carbon monoxideCoal and petroleum are the two primary fossil fuels. Oxidizing methane also releases CO2, but that is 25 times better than releasing methane, itself an even more potent greenhouse gas.


Give an example of any change with cannot be reversed?

Burning of fossil fuels leading to irreversible climate change is an example of a change that cannot be reversed due to the long-lasting impact on the Earth's ecosystem.

Compounds formed by the burning of fossil fuels combine with water in the atmosphere to form what?

Compounds formed by the burning of fossil fuels combine with water in the atmosphere to form acid rain. Acid rain is a harmful type of precipitation that can damage the environment, soil, and water bodies when it falls.


How much co2 does fossil fuels give off?

Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. The amount of CO2 emitted depends on the type of fossil fuel and how it is burned, but on average, burning one gallon of gasoline produces around 20 pounds of CO2. This is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
