What is the largest amount of carbon stored on earth?

The largest amount of carbon stored on Earth is found in rocks, such as carbonate minerals like limestone and dolomite. These rocks contain carbon in the form of calcium carbonate, which makes up a significant portion of Earth's crust. Carbon stored in rocks is estimated to be many times greater than the amount of carbon found in the atmosphere and living organisms combined.


Which types of rocks contains coal and petroleum?

Coal is typically found in sedimentary rocks such as sandstone, shale, and limestone. Petroleum is found in sedimentary rocks as well, usually in porous reservoir rocks such as sandstone or limestone that are capped by impermeable rock layers like shale or mudstone.


Can you see fossils and petroleum deposit in same geographical regions?

The answer to this question would be yes, they could be found in the same geographical regions. Fossils can be found anywhere in the world, in many different forms. They can be bones that were preserved underground or imprints left in rocks that show organisms that died ages ago. Petroleum deposits may not be as commonly found throughout the world, but while it may not be found everywhere fossils are, fossils can definitely be found anywhere petroleum might be found.


Is petroleum found in the atmosphere?

Petroleum is not found in the atmosphere naturally. It is a fossil fuel formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms buried in the Earth's crust. However, petroleum products, like volatile organic compounds, can be released into the atmosphere through human activities such as burning fuel or industrial processes.


How do you get petroleum?

Petroleum is a naturally occurring fossil fuel found beneath the Earth's surface in reservoirs. It is typically extracted through drilling wells deep into the Earth and pumping the petroleum to the surface. This process can also involve the use of advanced technologies like hydraulic fracturing.
