The Earth's crust is made of many types of rock, including a category called carbonate rocks, like limestone and marble. Imagine you could travel billions of years into the future, and you found that the crust no longer has carbonate rocks, and one of these rocks' key `ingredients' is now in the Earth's atmosphere. Which present-day planet would this future Earth probably be like? Group of answer choices Venus, with an extremely hot surface temperature, due to the greenhouse effect Uranus, with a cold atmosphere made mostly of nitrogen and oxygen Jupiter, with an atmosphere made mostly of hydrogen and helium Mars, with a very low surface temperature, due to a lack of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
