Why have fossil fuels become our primary energy resource

Physics

Komok [63]3 years ago

Answer: The fossil fuels are big part of the world today. But my i say get red of it you know but o will. so hope this helps good luck.

Explanation:

The United States gets 81% of its total energy from oil, coal, and natural gas, all of which are fossil fuels. We depend on those fuels to heat our homes, run our vehicles, power industry and manufacturing, and provide us with electricity. Eventually, the degree to which we depend on fossil fuels will have to decline as the planet’s known supplies diminish, the difficulty and cost of tapping remaining reserves increase, and the effect of their continued use on our planet grows more critical. But shifting to new energy sources will take time. In the meantime, how do we use fossil fuels in the most efficient and environmentally responsible way possible?

Fossil fuels are not our primary source of energy that role plays the sun.

If you turn of the sun you would freeze to death after 1 month.

  • Corn syrup is also basically a sugar.
  • It will dissolve in water too .
  • If we shake the mixture in glass then corn syrup will be dissolved.

While walking along the shore of a lake Travis felt a cold breeze. What type of heat energy transfer is this an example of?
AfilCa [17]
Out of the 3 types of heat transfer, this scenario would be most likely to be an example of convection.

Convection is where the transferring of heat is resulted through the movements of fluid, but in this case it is air. What happens is that when a part of the whole mass of air is heated, the hotter air rises and the cooler air descends and takes place of the hotter air before it was heated. Then, the cooler air becomes hotter and the hotter air before becomes the cooler air of both, which then results to the repeat of the exchange of places. This creates a motion until the whole mass has achieved mutual temperature, the heat source has stopped or extinguished, or there is a shift of temperature.
