Answer:

Carbon is released into the atmosphere is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • Fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources.
  • When humans burn fossil fuels it affects the air quality, human health, environment, and level of carbon  increases which results in climate change.
  • When fossil fuel: oil, natural gas, and coal are burned by the human activities it releases carbon in the atmosphere.
  • When the fossil fuel is burned carbon combines with oxygen to form Carbon dioxide and it increases the concentration of greenhouse gases.
  • Burning of fossil fuel increases the level of carbon dioxide gas, which heats the lower atmosphere, results in Greenhouse and global warming.

Thus when humans burn fossil fuels Carbon is released into the atmosphere.

Anna35 [415]
Fossils can give information about past environmental conditions by showing the type of animal they belonged to. If a scientist found a whale fossil in a desert, he/she could assume that the desert was once an ocean as whales only live in oceans. If someone found a fossil of a lizard that inhabited trees, in the middle of the ocean, then he/she could assume that the ocean didn't exist at one point and instead, there might have been a forest in it's place.
