Answer 1

Answer:

It can be used directly in homes

Explanation:

The natural gas is one of the fossil fuels that is used on a large scale. It can be used directly in homes, as there are lot of things that have been made to run on natural gas, be it for cooking or heating. Even though this fossil fuel doesn't contribute as much to the pollution of the atmosphere as the oil and the coal, still manages to have part in it. The majority of the pollution of the natural gas comes while it is transported. Through the transportation very often there's leaking of the natural gas. As it leaks, the natural gas releases lot of methane into the atmosphere, and the methane is a more effective greenhouse gas even than the CO2, though only on the short term.
