Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When animals breathe or decompose (decay), carbonate rocks weather, forest fires ignite, and volcanoes erupt, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere naturally. Human practices such as the combustion of fossil fuels and trees, as well as the manufacture of cement, contribute carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
