Energy is a key resource. We burn fuels to get energy. Sometimes it is also done by the environment itself.
The process where nuclear fuels release energy is called nuclear fission. It involves splitting the nucleus of an atom into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
Yes, when fossil fuels are burned, the chemical energy stored in them from millions of years ago is converted into heat energy. This heat energy is used to generate electricity or power vehicles, contributing to human activities and industries. However, burning fossil fuels also releases harmful pollutants and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to environmental and health concerns.
This is chemical energy, since chemical reactions are required to release it
Fossil fuels contain energy that originally came from the sun, which was absorbed by plants through photosynthesis millions of years ago. This energy is stored in the form of carbon compounds in fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. When these fuels are burned, they release this stored energy in the form of heat and light.
Fossil fuels are a source of chemical energy. Chemically conbining the hydrocarbons in fossil fuels with air is combustion and primarily produces carbon dioxide and water. (There are many more details of the chemistry of the specific fossil fuels and many other results of their combustion besides the predominant gasses of water and carbon dioxide.)
fuels are burned to release the chemical energy
Fossil fuels release energy as the result of ignition.
Yes, heat.
No, not all fuels release the same amount of energy when burned. Different fuels have varying energy densities, which is the amount of energy released per unit of mass or volume. For example, fossil fuels like gasoline and diesel generally have higher energy content compared to biomass or biofuels. Factors such as chemical composition and the presence of impurities also influence the energy output of different fuels.
Fossil fuels can be burned to release the potential chemical energy stored millions of years ago.The process of burning fuels is called Combustion.

sound energy???
When fossil fuels are burned, they undergo a chemical reaction with oxygen in the air to release heat energy. This process breaks the chemical bonds within the fossil fuels, resulting in the release of stored potential energy in the form of heat.
Petrol and kerosene oil are both fossil fuels that contain chemical potential energy. When burned, these fuels release energy in the form of heat and light.
When fossil fuels are burned, they primarily release thermal energy in the form of heat, which is produced by the combustion reaction. This process also generates chemical energy that was stored in the fuels, converting it into kinetic energy in the form of exhaust gases. Additionally, some of the energy is transformed into light energy, typically visible as flames. Overall, the combustion of fossil fuels results in the release of energy in multiple forms, primarily as heat.
You can't make energy, but you can release it from fuels such as coal, oil, gas, and uranium.
