Decomposition vs Combustion Both decomposition and combustion are chemical processes of converting complex material into much simpler compounds. Decomposition Decomposition is a natural process. When animals and plants die and excrete, their bodies and other waste material are broken down into smaller pieces and ultimately to simpler forms of matter. This process is known […]
