Does the amount of energy released from burning of fossil fuels have a measurable impact on global warming?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Melissa Whaley No, it’s not currently measurable. Human primary non-renewable energy consumption is about 15TW – and pretty much all of that goes into low-grade heat in the ocean surface and the atmosphere. How does fossil fuels affect global warming? What is the link between fossil fuels and climate change? When fossil fuels
If it rains harder, does it mean the rain’s duration will be shorter?

How does water still exist on the Earth?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Courtney Vairaganthan Liquid water, which is necessary for life as we know it, continues to exist on the surface of Earth because the planet is at a distance, known as the habitable zone, far enough from the Sun that it does not lose its water, but not so far that low temperatures cause
