Question
Burning of fossils fuels like petrol, and diesel causes:
- Global warming
- Ozone layer depletion
- Acid rain
- Floods
Hint:
Burning of fossil fuels like petrol, and diesel causes an emission of carbon dioxide.
The correct answer is: Global warming
- The burning of fossil fuels like petrol, and diesel causes Global warming.
- Burning of fossils fuels causes an emission of carbon dioxide which further leads to global warming
- Fossil fuels are formed by the decomposition of buried carbon-based organisms that died millions of years ago.
- They create carbon-rich deposits that are decomposed and burned for energy. They are non-renewable and currently provide about 80% of the world's energy.
- They are also used in the production of plastics, steel, and various products. Fossil fuels include three types: coal, oil, and gas.
- When fossil fuels burn, large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, are released into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, causing global warming.
- The average global temperature has already increased by 1°C. Temperatures above 1.5°C increase the risk of sea level rise, extreme weather conditions, biodiversity loss, species extinction, food insecurity, and worsening health and poverty for millions of people worldwide.
