Answer:

  1. coal
  2. petroleum

Explanation:

Coal and petroleum are two forms of carbon that are found naturally in the Lithosphere ( the solid part of the Earth that sits above the Mantle). Both coal and petroleum are considered natural resources and sources of energy, and both also originate from geologic transformation of organic material.

The burning of these forms of carbon release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Since it is a greenhouse gas, an increase in carbon dioxide also increases the ability of the atmosphere to retain heat. This is called the Greenhouse Effect.

Least populous country in europe with less than 800 inhabitants
Burka [1]

Answer:

Vatican

Explanation:

Vatican is the smallest country in Europe by population, but also by area, and not just in Europe, but it is the smallest country by population and area in the whole world. The country occupies only 44 hectares, and it has less then 800 inhabitants. It is also the only country in the world that has a birth rate of 0. The inhabitants of this country are the highest representatives of the Catholic Church, thus the Pope and the cardinals, and the people that work there. This miniature country is located in the central part of Rome, thus it has a border with only one country, Italy. It is a remnant of the Papal city-state that existed in this region, though it is much smaller nowadays. Vatican is the second most holy place for the 1.3 billion Catholics, right behind Jerusalem, and millions of people are visiting this small country every year, some because of religious purposes, while some as tourists.

20. Which of the following is not a consequence of using nuclear energy?
vichka [17]

Answer:

d.

Explanation:

Nuclear energy can create a safer environment for humans.

It can produce electricity.

It releases less radioactivity into the atmosphere than burning coal.

However I found nothing on if it reduces the use of fossil fuels, but in the future it could replace them alongside possibly renewable energy, so take the answer piece of cake.
