Not for hundreds of years. They are recycled.

∙ 14y agoYes, tires can decompose over a very long period of time, typically decades to centuries. However, the process is slow because tires are made of synthetic rubber, which is resistant to natural decomposition processes. Improperly disposed tires can have negative environmental impacts.

No, sodium chloride (common table salt) does not decompose when heated. It simply melts at around 801°C and then starts to evaporate at higher temperatures.
R12 (dichlorodifluoromethane) can decompose into phosgene and HF (hydrogen fluoride). R22 (chlorodifluoromethane) can decompose into phosgene and HF as well. Both reactions can occur under high temperature or in the presence of a catalyst.
Materials such as glass and ceramics do not decompose when heated because they are not organic compounds and do not break down into simpler substances under high temperature.
PbSO4 will not decompose upon heating, but it will undergo a phase change from solid to liquid at its melting point of 1170°C.

Given enough time yes, they will decompose. It would take thousands of years for this to happen.

It acually takes a really long time.. but a lot longer in a landfill.. people should just RECYCLE!!!!
It is not the tires that are bad for the environment, it is the storage and disposal of them that is a problem. The fumes that are created are toxic, and harmful for the environment. Many landfills no longer accept them, since they do not decompose very rapidly and take up space.
Tires can take hundreds to thousands of years to decompose in a landfill due to their synthetic rubber composition which breaks down very slowly. They pose environmental risks as they can leach toxic chemicals as they degrade. Recycling and reuse are preferred to reduce their impact on the environment.
Fruit decomposes through the action of enzymes, microorganisms, and fungi that break down its components like sugars, organic acids, and fibers. This process releases gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor, eventually leading to the breakdown of the fruit's structure and its transformation into compost. Temperature, humidity, and oxygen levels can influence the rate of fruit decomposition.
anything will decompose if it has air
no they will not decompose
Yes. When they die, they decompose.

Brass does not decompose in the traditional sense, as it is a durable metal alloy made from copper and zinc. It can last for hundreds or even thousands of years without breaking down, but it may corrode or tarnish over time.
