Answer:

coal
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.

Discuss the issue of the sea level that is rising due to the increase of polar ice melting ( incorporate various populations of

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

As discussed below.

Explanation:

The melting of the sea ice and rise in global temperature are having a profound impact on the distribution of land and water ration of the earth as much of the land is concentrated in the northern hemispheres and the rest of the areas are oceanic waters.

The presence of warm global temperature in the seas and continue expansion of the bottoms are thus spading this effect as a rise in 1 to 3 degrees caused a severe rise in the oceanic basins and this cause more salinity in the rivers and an increase in the global cooling staking over the oceans.

The population of freshwater and marine water is badly affected many species of corals have already died and a catastrophic bleaching has occurred on the western coast of Australia. Thus it poses a severe threat to the marine biology and ecology of the pant is due impacted by this.

More and more species are getting extinct and habits are getting lost and the planet is getting more heated and drastic release of temperature is causing more in tectonic movement in the polar areas.

Why are the crystals of intrusive igneous rock typically larger than those of extrusive igenous rock?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Intrusive rocks come from magma. They cool slowly deep in Earth's crust. When magma cools underground, the crust acts like a blanket, insulating it, keeping it warm longer. Because the magma cools slowly, crystals of different minerals have time to grow.
