Sulfuric and nitric acid particles stem from vehicle exhaust, manufacturing, and the burning of fossil fuels. When the water vapor latches on to this type of condensation nuclei, acid rain or an acid haze forms. Haze is a layer of dust, ash, or salt particles, and since they are ...

Combustion isanother word for burning. In a combustion reaction, a fuel is heated and it reacts with oxygen. ... When fuels burn in combustion reactions, they release useful thermal energy (heat). Combustion reactions are used to heat our homes, power most cars, and to generate a lot of...
percent forest coverage. By 1949, China had more than 541 million people and only 10 percent coverage. Two thousand years ago, Europe had forests on over 80 percent of the land, compared to today's 34 percent coverage. Deforestation fueled the industrial revolution until fossil fuels became ...

This episode remained memorable because it was centered around the impacts of fossil fuels on marine animals; it was the first time I’d learned about the impending crisis we are faced with due to the human mistreatment of our planet. Prior to viewing that episode, I relied on the ocean ...

For example, it is used in rocket fuels. It is combined with hydrogen in the rocket The unmanned Saturn rocket, shortly after takeoff on January 22,1968. The combination of oxygen and hydrogen creates enough energy to lift the rocket into space. engines. When hydrogen and oxygen combine,...
Renewable resources for the production of energy are considered especially important for their potential to replace nonrenewable, or finite, resources. Additionally, renewable resources can offer cleaner energy solutions than those provided by nonrenewable resources such as coal and fossil fuels. Examples ...
