Answer:

The main component in fossil fuels/natural gases is called methane. When methane is burned with oxygen, it produces water and a large amount of greenhouse gases (commonly known as carbon dioxide). Carbon emissions from this process trap heat in the earth's atmosphere which leads to climate change. These gases are able to trap heat because their molecular structures allow them to absorb the infrared radiation from the sun.

Process by which plants become fertilized without water; animals help
sergeinik [125]
Animals such as bees or wind can carry pollen from one flower to another flower and fertilize the plant that way. Plants can also self-pollinate which happens when a plant’s own pollen fertilizes its own ovules.
