What temperature does water have to be for animal decomposition?

Bodies will always quickly decompose in water. Even in fairly cold seawater, a rule of thumb is that a body of someone who has drowned will be practically unidentifiable within 14 days and will have totally fallen apart in a few weeks more. Hotter water will speed up the process.

What factors determine time of death of an animal?
Stages of decomposition, or stages of physiological/chemical responses that happen after an animal dies, such as rigor mortis.
When an animal exhales it releases carbon into the atmosphere What is another way in which an animal is part of the carbon cycle?
When an animal dies, bacteria release carbon in the body during the process of decomposition.
Water carbon and nitrogen are released back into the atmosphere during?
decomposition
What are three purposes for adaptation?
An animal adaption is water,shelter,food and (appropriate temperature range)....... that's all. Or plants is sunlight,food and appropriate temperature range.
What do you callan animal whose body temperature changes with the temperature of the environment?
ectotherms
Thermal decomposition and decomposition temperature-is it refer to the same things?
Thermal decomposition is the process by which chemical bonds are broken in the presence of heat. Decomposition temperature is the temperature at which thermal decomposition occurs, which differs for different compounds.
What is the temperature of water decomposition?
Purely thermal decomposition of water begins around 1800 degrees Kelvin at 1 ATM. By about 2500 degrees Kelvin, approximately 50% of the water is in a molecular configuration other than H2O. By approximately 3500 Kelvin, nearly 100% of the water has decomposed into atomic H and O.
What is the effect of moisture and warm temperature on decomposition?
Moisture and warm temperature speed decomposition. This is a form of abiotic decomposition as it employs a chemical or physical process without the involvement of micro-organisms.
Is there a maximum temperature for a solid to dissolve?
The temperature must be under the decomposition temperature of the substance.
What is a property of a decomposition reaction?
Decomposition reactions always have one complex reactant and two or more simpler products.
Is decomposition of water into its elements a physical process?
The decomposition is a chemical process.
What matter is converted into animal and microbial tissue during decomposition?
Organic matter is converted into animal and microbial tissue during decomposition. This matter can be then used to fertilize the soil.
What is the environmental factors that affects the speed of decomposition?
Temperature and moisture.
What is decomposition of water?
the decomposition of water (H2O) into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen gas (H2)
What are products of water decomposition?
H2o
The decomposition of water can be brought about by?
electrolysis
What resources can be found from the decomposition of animal and human poo?
Plants live off decomposed trash, like decomposition of...left-overs
