Chiefly carbon dioxide. Fossil fuels are primarily carbon. When burned, this carbon combines with atmospheric oxygen to form CO2.
CO2 is a heat trapping gas which lingers for centuries, and human consumption of fossil fuel now liberates over 20 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year.
What else can I help you with?
What issues are involved with fossil fuels?
They're a limited resource that'll eventually run out and using them releases pollution and green house gasses..
What are the advantages and disadvanteges of fossil fuels?
it is a green house gas so that is a disadvantage .
What gasses can be produced from fosssil fuels?
green house gasses are produced like carbon dioxide which is the most common one produced by cars
Why are fossil fuels so significant?
well you see that most of the fossil fuels are used so we can use cars and other green house gas stuff so if we loose it we need to find another sores
What are humans doing to add to the green house gas effect?
burning fossil fuels, chopping down trees and generally killing the environment
What are two green house gasses?
Methane and carbondioxide.
What type of heat does a green house create?
Green House Gasses, A.K.A. CO2 or Carbon Dioxide.
Do green house gases weaken the ozone?
Yes they do, green house gases are caused by burning fossil fuels, coal and oil. These gases then 'attack' the onzone layer which creates 'holes' in the atmosphere which allows dangerous and harmful radiation into the atmosphere.
What are some green house gasses?
Methane, carbon dioxide
How does recycling and reusing reduce pollution?
The benefits of recycling is that it helps there to be less fossil fuels and green house gases.There is also less energy used to produce new products.
What are three types of energy used to heat the house?
electric, fossil fuels and geothermal
Do any of the planets have a atmosphere?
Yes. Venus has an atmosphere. The atmosphere is so thick and full of green-house gasses, we could not see the surface. The green-house gasses keep it very hot on the surface, as well.
