Disadvantages of fossil fuels: Burning of fossil fuels produce gaseswhich cause global warming like carbon dioxide. Burning of coal and petroleum cause air pollution due to the pollutants produced. Fossil fuels release oxides of carbon, sulphur and nitrogen etc. 2) The burning of fossil fuels produces smoke which pollutes the air. Fossil fuel is a general term for buried combustible geologic deposits of organic materials, formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth\'s crust over hundreds of millions of years. Disadvantages - The burning of fossil fuels produce acidic gases such as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxides. These acidic gases cause acid rains. A natural fuel formed deep under the earth from the pre- historic remains of living organisms is called fossil fuels. |
