GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Most generators run on gas, diesel, natural gas, or propane, all of which produce emissions. People rely on generators for both backup power and additional sources to decrease stress on the grid. When people use fossil-fuel-dependent generators, they contribute to atmospheric pollution.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gas is a fossil fuel which can be used to generate electricity. By burning gas, we create heat which powers a turbine. The rotation of this turbine spins a generator which creates electricity.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main fossil fuels are coal, oil, and natural gas. Fossil fuels may be burned to provide heat for use directly (such as for cooking or heating), to power engines (such as internal combustion engines in motor vehicles), or to generate electricity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Coal-fired plants produce electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. The steam produced, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity. The steam is then cooled, condensed back into water and returned to the boiler to start the process over.
