What was carbon in the lithosphere initially a part of before the burning of fossil fuel?
Initially, carbon was a part of the lithosphere in the form of
1 ___________
and 2____________
before the burning of fossil fuel.
1.coal
carbon dioxide
diamond
2.carbon monoxide
petroleum
graphite​

Respuesta :

Answer:

  1. coal
  2. petroleum

Explanation:

Coal and petroleum are two forms of carbon that are found naturally in the Lithosphere ( the solid part of the Earth that sits above the Mantle). Both coal and petroleum are considered natural resources and sources of energy, and both also originate from geologic transformation of organic material.

The burning of these forms of carbon release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Since it is a greenhouse gas, an increase in carbon dioxide also increases the ability of the atmosphere to retain heat. This is called the Greenhouse Effect.

Answer:

Coal and Petroleum

Explanation:

This carbon was initially a part of the lithosphere in the form of coal and petroleum. The process of burning of fossil fuel largely has altered the carbon cycle relative to its natural state, thereby increasing the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere.
