How do fossil fuels impact the atmosphere?

Question

Select the five ways in which fossil fuels negatively impact Earth's atmosphere.

Smog is formed when air pollutants mix with oxygen.
Vehicles emit carbon monoxide into the atmosphere when operating.
Carbon dioxide becomes trapped within Earth's atmosphere, causing temperatures to rise.
Rising levels of carbon dioxide prevent plants from getting the oxygen they need.
Nitrogen becomes the most abundant gas in the atmosphere.
Air pollutants are released when coal is burned for electricity in power plants.
Ground level ozone increases, which causes significant breathing problems.
Ozone in the upper atmosphere increases, which blocks rays from the sun.
