Answer:

Conversion of carbon to fossil fuels takes hundreds of millions of years beneath the earth-crust.

Explanation:

  • Conversion of carbon to fossil fuels takes hundreds of millions of years beneath the earth-crust. Fossil fuel is formed by the anaerobic decomposition of dead remains of the plants and animals.
  • When the remains of the plants and animals get buried under the earth surface under high temperature and pressure it starts converting into fossil fuels. Coal, natural gas and petroleum are the extracts of the fossil fuel.
