Abstract
The Earth has replenished its surface with carbon throughout geologic time. The supply may have come from hydrocarbons originally included in the body and outgassing largely through faults in the crust. Combustible gases are frequently released in earthquakes and seem to be an essential part of that phenomenon. New sources of fuel and improved earthquake prediction may come from a better understanding of the processes.Keywords
