    The process where fossil fuels, forests, or other carbon-containing substances are burned, addin more carbon dioxide to the air is the combustion.

    Some examples of combustion are:

    Fossil fuel:

    Carbon + O2

    C + O2 - > CO2

    Forests (wood)

    Wood = cellulose = [C6H10O5]n

    [C6H10O5]n + 6nO2 = 6n CO2 + 5n H2O

    So, in general the combustion of organic matter produces CO2 and water.
