Is a fossil formed when an organism buried in sediment dissolves called?

No, a fossil formed when an organism buried in sediment dissolves is called a mold fossil. It is created when the organic material of the organism dissolves, leaving behind an impression or cavity in the sediment that hardens into rock.


What is carbonising?

The slow chemical process of dead vegetation(buried plants and animals)into coal is called carbonisation.


What force acts on the dead organisms in sediment transforming them into oil and gas?

The main force responsible for transforming dead organisms in sediment into oil and gas is heat, pressure, and time. Over millions of years, the organic matter from dead plants and animals buried in sediment undergoes a process called diagenesis, where heat and pressure cause chemical changes to occur, eventually turning them into hydrocarbons like oil and gas.


What is eating plants and animals called?

Animals that eat both plants and animals are called omnivores.


Origin of coal?

Coal formed from organic material like dead plants in ancient swamps that were buried under layers of sediment. Over millions of years, heat and pressure transformed this organic material into coal. The process of coal formation is called coalification.


When some plants died and were buried under layers of sediment was the carbon they removed from the atmosphere locked up as fossil fuels?

Yes, when plants died and were buried under layers of sediment, the carbon they removed from the atmosphere is eventually locked up as fossil fuels after undergoing a process called fossilization over millions of years. Through pressure and heat, organic matter in the plant material transforms into fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas.


What animals eats that plant?

Organisms that get their food from light (such as plants,) or minerals are called autotrophs. Organisms that only eat plants are called herbivores.Organisms that eat animals are called carnivores.Organisms that eat both plants and animals are called omnivores.So, carnivores and omnivores eat herbivores and other omnivores.


Animals that eat another items how thy are called?

An animal that eats other animals are called carnivors. Animals that eat plants are called herbivores. Animals that eat both animals and plants are called omnivores.


What are the series of animals that eat plants and animals?

An animal that eats plants AND animals are called OMNIVORES


How fosils are made?

Fossils are formed when the remains of plants or animals are buried quickly by sediment and then preserved over time through a process called mineralization, where minerals replace the original organic material. Over thousands or millions of years, these preserved remains can become fossils through various processes like compression, impression, or petrification.


How is carbonaceous is form?

A fossil is formed when the dead organism is buried in rock or parts of rock called sediments. The more sediment that builds up on plants or animals the more pressure and heat it is shown too,then circumstances force gas and liquid from the organism. A residue is left from the carbon which forms the outline of the body. This results in carbonaceous film.
