Fossil fuels Fuels that come from the ground Burning them produces energy to heat our homes, run our cars, and produce energy to run factories Examples- Oil, Gas and Coal

Burn Fossil Fuels Produces Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) (Greenhouse gas) Causes Global Warming Melts the Ice Caps

The Sun’s energy passes through the car’s windshield. This energy (heat) is trapped inside the car and cannot pass back through the windshield, causing the inside of the car to warm up. Example of the Greenhouse Effect
