3 The Earth System The Earth is a system made up of components. There are feedbacks between these components. These relationships can be used to predict past and future changes in the environment. The Carbon cycle is an important Earth System.

5 Formation of Fossil Carbon Coal: from the remains of plants (mainly from Carboniferous period) Oil: from marine organisms that were buried under ocean or river sediments Natural Gas: was originally oil; higher temperature and pressure converted it to primarily methane

7 Combustion Burning hydrocarbons produces CO 2 and CO: CxHx + O 2 CO 2 + H 2 O (if enough O 2 ) Complete combustion Hydrocarbon + oxygen = carbon dioxide and water CxHx + O 2 CO 2 + CO + H 2 O (if not enough O 2 ) incomplete combustion Hydrocarbon + oxygen = carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide and water
