Where can carbon be stored for millions of years?

• photosynthesis

• formation of fossil fuels

• cellular respiration

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between fossil fuels, carbon dioxide, and global warming?

• 
  Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide. Excess carbon dioxide causes global warming.

• 
  Carbon dioxide produces fossil fuels. Fossil fuels prevent global warming.
