Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Burning of fossil fuels adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, which is an input to the atmosphere. Simultaneously, it is an output, i.e., a release, from the lithosphere, where fossil fuels are stored. Therefore, the carbon dioxide that is being added to the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels is an example of an input-output relationship.
