Question
What are environmental consequences of using fossil fuels?
✓
Answer
Environmental consequences of using fossil fuels are:
1. Burning of fossil fuel causes air pollution.
2. Burning of fossil fuel can cause acid rain which corrode the buildings, monuments and reduces the fertility of the soil.
3. Smog is caused by burning of fossil fuels which block the sun's radiations and hence hamper the process of photosynthesis.
4. Burning of fossil fuels release green house gases, which in turn be the source of global warming.
