The early precambrian atmosphere consisted primarily of nitrogen and carbon dioxide with almost no oxygen.
<span>Today, the atmosphere contains about 20% oxygen, less carbon dioxide and similar amounts of nitrogen. </span>
<span>Photosynthetic green-leaf plants and trees are largely responsible for the change, converting carbon dioxide to oxygen.</span>
Both are oxidation reactions. Burning is just a lot faster than rusting.
Remains the same because temperature can't change energy
