To cause the remains of animal or plant life to decay?
In the SSW #20 the answer to #3 down is decompose
Can humans become fossil fuels?
Yes, it is possible for humans to become petroleum. I think, at least, because noone has ever become fossil fuels and ever lived to tell the tale. So, the secret. You have to be buried deep deep down with a lot of pressure an no exposure to oxygen. I don't know about the air in you're lungs, but if you decay like that it might be possible. Right, that's about all the tips I can give. No coffin either. -Dr. Shoe
Would a dead animal decay faster in the dessert or rain forest?
A dead animal would decay faster in a rainforest due to the warm and humid conditions that accelerate the decomposition process. In contrast, the dry conditions of a desert would slow down the decay process due to the lack of moisture and slower microbial activity.
How do parts of living things become fossilized?
When an organism dies, it can become buried in sediment which helps protect it from decay. Over time, minerals from the surrounding environment can seep into the organism's tissues, gradually replacing them and forming a fossil. The process of fossilization can take millions of years.
Which daughter element is produced from the alpha decay of?
227Ac89
What is an animal fossil buried in?
An animal fossil can be buried in sedimentary rock layers such as sandstone, shale, or limestone that have accumulated over time. The fossilization process occurs when the remains of an animal are buried quickly after death, protecting them from decay and allowing for the formation of a fossil.
What causes the remains of an animal or plant to decay?
fungi and animals
Coal forms from plant remains that are buried before they decay and are then compacted into matter that is composed mainly of .?
Carbon
How can a animal become a fossil?
they die and they decay
If chromium undergoes gamma decay what does it become?
If chromium undergoes gamma decay, it remains as chromium. Gamma decay is a type of radioactive decay where a nucleus releases gamma rays to reach a more stable state, but the identity of the element remains the same.
Did every ancient animal create a fossil?
No, not every ancient animal created a fossil. Fossilization is a rare process that requires specific conditions such as quick burial and the presence of minerals to preserve an organism's remains. As a result, the fossil record represents only a small fraction of all the organisms that have lived on Earth.
What is decaying plants and animal remains called?
When plants and animals (any living matter) decay, their remains are in the soil, in the material called humus.
Is there any way to prevent decay when a person is buried?
NO
Is it true fossils can form when the remains of anorganism decay?
noFossils can form when the remains of an organism decay. ... When a dead organismis buried, it often decayscompletely, leaving only an impression in the rock in a formof a hollow mold. The hard parts are most likely to leave an impression, although sometimes so can soft parts.
What plants or animals died to form the coal?
Actually, any kind of plant/animal could have died to form coal. But not just any type of coal. Bituminous coal, to be exact. This happens when dead plant/animal's remains (though mostly plant, a small percentage of bituminous coal is from animal remains) are buried under a body of water (usually a swamp) and decay there for a while, forming a thick layer. Then it needs to be buried by a lot of 'sediments', usually mud/sand to compress the plant/animal remains into coal.
What is the organism that causes the decay of dead plant and animal matter?
The term for an organism that causes decay is decomposers, such as bacteria and fungi. they chemically break down organic matter for food. the decay caused by the decomposers is part of a process that produces detritus, small pieces of dead and decaying plant/animal remains.
If you are buried in an air tight capsule will my body decay over time?
If I was buried in an airtight capsule my body would not decay because of a lack of oxygen. If your body was not locked in an airtight capsule it would decay overtime because the bacteria responsible for decomposition of organic matter are present in oxygen.
