The fuel used in car is petroleum product which is a fossil fuel. Petroleum products such as petrol or diesel are chemical compounds in which chemical energy is stored in their bonds. When these compounds undergo chemical reactions, resulting in breaking of bonds and releasing energy. When ignition of a car is on, the energy is released when chemical bonds are broken. The released energy is carry out work in the car system.
Habitat destruction is the process by which natural habitat is damaged or destroyed to such an extent that it no longer is capable of supporting the species and ecological communities that naturally occur there.
