There are a couple of answers to this:
A: A lot of people back then were heavily Catholic, the Catholic church claimed that the Earth was flat, while others believed the Earth was round.
B: Back then, obviously they didn't have airplanes or satellites, thus people believed the Earth was flat. The reasoning of this is because, if you were to look outside right now, the Earth does look like it could be flat. (that is because you have to be at a certain level of elevation to see the curvature of the Earth). Eventually though, people started reasoning and came to the conclusion the Earth was round. (They were proven right when aerospace technology came around.)

The answer is: the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
From an examination of the displacement of the ground surface which accompanied the 1906 earthquake, Henry Fielding Reid, Professor of Geology at Johns Hopkins University, concluded that the earthquake must have involved an "elastic rebound" of previously stored elastic stress.
The elastic rebound theory is an explanation for how energy is spread during earthquakes. As rocks on opposite sides of a fault are subjected to force and shift, they accumulate energy and slowly deform until their internal strength is exceeded.
Answer:
Blank 1 : Methane
Blank 2: Carbon dioxide
Explanation:
A rotting biomass would emit a huge proportion of methane. Microbes work on waste products and releases methane and other gases. Methane is the primary biogas obtained from a decaying biomass. Methane can be used as a source of fuel for both industrial and domestic purposes.
Burning of biomass would produce carbon dioxide to a large extent. Methane produced would fuel the burning process so as to release significant amount of carbon dioxide.
