Mineral salts, water, and carbon dioxide.
Energy is released during a decomposition reaction.
A substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances during a decomposition reaction.
Methane gas is released, as well as carbon dioxide, during decomposition.
decomposition
carbon dioxide: a heavy odorless colorless gas formed during respiration and by the decomposition of organic substances
a heavy odorless colorless gas formed during respiration and by the decomposition of organic substances; absorbed from the air by plants in photosynthesis
Decomposition is the process of breaking down organic substances. It is very important to note the word "Organic". Plants and animals are made up of around 18% carbon, therefore during their decomposing process, they release the carbon stored in them.
In certain circumstances, a buried body can bloat and burst due to the build-up of gases during decomposition. However, this is not always the case and other factors such as the burial environment and the stage of decomposition can also influence whether a body will burst or not.
Carbon Dioxide
Some particles can be entrained during water evaporation.
Heat comes from one source, the sun.
harmful gasses are released during the proses such as CO2
