What are two disadvantages of fossil fuels?
The heat given by fossil fuels is low in temperature.
Higher amounts of fuels are needed in order to create just a little power.
Fossil fuels are limited.
Burning fossil fuels creates polluted smoke.
Using fossil fuels does not provide enough electricity.
Fossil fuels are limited and Burning fossil fuels creates polluted smoke.
The two disadvantages of fossil fuels are:
1. Fossil fuels are limited: Fossil fuel reserves are finite and will eventually run out. This means that once we have used up all the available fossil fuel resources, we will have to find alternative energy sources.
2. Burning fossil fuels creates polluted smoke: When fossil fuels are burned, they release pollutants into the atmosphere. These pollutants, such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, contribute to air pollution and are a major factor in climate change. Additionally, the combustion of fossil fuels also releases other harmful substances, such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and mercury, which have negative health effects on both humans and the environment.
