EFFECT OF FOSSIL FUELS ON THE ENVIRONMENT Fossil fuels are fuels formed by natural processes such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms. The age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years‚ and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[4] Fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include coal‚petroleum‚ and natural gas.[5] They range from volatile materials with lowcarbon:hydrogen ratios like methane‚ to liquid petroleum to nonvolatile materials

The Article that I looked at was titled The Meaning of Fossils‚ Episodes in the History of Palaeontology by M. Rudwick (September 6-11‚ 2012). The motivation for this paper seemed to start with wanting to explain the finding of certain fossils in specific locations‚ along with the differences that seemed to be found in various sedimentary layers. The first question that seemed to be asked in the article was‚ “Fossils were part of the natural world‚ but what were they?” This drew a lot of controversy

The knowledge of how fossil fuels produce emissions and how it effects many things on many different issues is vague depending on where you inquire the information. We will focus on a few effective and opposing issues‚ in which fossil fuel emissions have had an effect on society in the United States. These issues begin with the fetal and child developmental stages‚ pollutants‚ and global weather changes. We will explore alternative advantages versus its disadvantages in society today. Due to

Fossil Fuels Becoming Extinct Specific purpose: I will inform my audience of how alternate energy sources help protect the environment‚ different types of energy sources‚ and the most plausible alternate energy to be used in the future. Central idea: Alternate Energy sources are being developed to address not only the global effect of fossil fuels on the environment but the ever decreasing quantity of fossil fuels as well.

He explained that the stone tooth shaped fragments he had found were from an ancient shark and had been fossilized by horizontal deposits of sediment. (Circa

Archaeologists have found much physical evidence to confirm this date‚ such as the 0.73 Mya old fossils with stone tools and animal bones. The other date matches the movement of modern humans out of Africa and the appearance of modern traits in fossil skulls. Fossil skull traits such as high rounded skulls and small brow ridges‚ a vertical forehead and a pronounced chin first appear in Africa about 130‚000 years ago. They then
