Answer 1

When animals/plants pass their bodies decay into the ground which produces carbon.

Carbon is transferred to the soil by plants and animals. When plants and animals die, the carbon in their bodies, wood, and leaves decomposes, releasing it into the earth. Some of it has been buried and will eventually decompose into fossil fuels over millions of years.
