Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Fossil fuels are composed of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulphur. When these are burnt, the products are `CO_2, H_2O`, oxides of nitrogen and sulphur. Incomplete combustion of fossil fuels produces green house gases such as `CO_2`, if huge amount of fossil fuels are burnt, it would produce high amount of `CO_2` resulting intense global warming.
