When living things die and end up in anaerobic conditions :
(trees falling into swamp water)
which leads to peat bogs and finally to coal.

What Category of carbon compounds stores energy for a long time?
Lipids in the form of fat provides long term energy storage.
Where and in what form does carbon enter long-term stores?
Carbon enters long-term stores primarily through the process of sedimentation in oceans and lakes, where it gets trapped in organic-rich layers of sediments. Over time, these sediments can become buried and compacted, eventually forming sedimentary rocks like limestone, shale, and dolomite. This process locks up carbon in the Earth's crust, where it can remain stored for thousands to millions of years.
What is a carbon store?
A carbon store is a natural or artificial reservoir that contains carbon, either in the form of organic matter or carbon dioxide. Examples include forests, soils, oceans, and fossil fuel deposits. These stores play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle and can help regulate the Earth's climate by absorbing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
What is a form of carbon that consists of atoms in the form of a long hollow cylinder?
fullerene
What properties of carbon explain carbons ability to form different large and complex structures?
one carbon atom can bond to another which gives carbon the ability to form chains that are almost unlimited in length
What properties of carbon's explain carbon ability to form different large complex structures?
Carbon has the ability to make 4 bonds, which allow it to form long chains.
What give carbon the ability to form chain that are almost unlimited in length?
A carbon atom can bond to other carbon atoms The reason is because carbon has the ability to form into its self. Carbon has catenation power, which means it can form bonds with other carbon atoms, and this bonding of carbon in a long chain is called carbon chain. The compounds which form by the long carbon chain are known as organic compounds Carbon is in group 14 on the Periodic Table, which means it has 4 electrons in its outer shell. This means carbon has the ability to form up to 4 covalent bonds, sometimes with itself, thus we see 'latice' like structures form (diamond) which have incredible strength. This ability is similar in hydrocarbons and proteins, but not to the same strength which is seen with the 3D lattice affect. Hydrocarbon is a long chain of carbon atoms which have a repeating units.
What properties of carbon ability to form different large and complex structures?
Carbon has the ability to make 4 bonds, which allow it to form long chains.
What is the only element that can form chemical bonds with itself to form long stable chains?
Carbon is the only element that can form chemical bonds with itself to form long stable chains, such as in organic molecules. This ability is due to carbon's unique ability to form multiple covalent bonds with other atoms, including other carbon atoms, allowing for the formation of a wide variety of complex and diverse compounds.
What is a form of pure carbon with atoms arranged in the shape of a long hollow tube?
You've described a carbon nanotube.
What is carbon storing?
either a long-term or a short term store, it's a place where carbon is accumalated and stored. Examples of long term stores is the atmosphere and short-term could be living organisms.
Why is carbon able to form macromolecules?
It can form four bonds. It is small and can form long chains
