Study Notes

Fossil Fuels

Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago, such as coal, oil, and natural gas.

Effects of Fossil Fuels on the Environment

Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, contributing to global warming and climate change.
Fossil fuel combustion leads to air pollution, causing respiratory problems and other health issues.
The extraction, refining, and transportation of fossil fuels can result in oil spills, soil pollution, and water contamination.

Importance of Energy Conservation

The increasing demand for energy, coupled with the finite nature of fossil fuels, highlights the need for conservation to ensure a sustainable energy future.
Conserving energy reduces greenhouse gas emissions, mitigating the impact of climate change.
Energy conservation also helps to decrease air and water pollution, preserving the environment for future generations.
