Are rocks that contain preserved plant and animal remains?
Rocks that contain preserved plant and animal remains are called fossils. Fossils can provide valuable information about past life forms and environments on Earth. They are typically formed through the process of mineralization, where the remains are gradually replaced by minerals in the surrounding rock.
What is loose material such as bits or rock minerals and plant and animal remains called?
The loose material is called sediment. It may include bits of rock, minerals, and organic material like plant and animal remains. This sediment can accumulate in layers over time and eventually become sedimentary rock through processes like lithification.
Sedimentary rock made up of the remains of living things?
This type of sedimentary rock is called organic sedimentary rock. It forms from the accumulation and compaction of plant and animal remains, such as shells, skeletons, and plant materials. Common examples include limestone, coal, and chalk.
What All of the following are ways in which sedimentary rocks form EXCEPT A. Lava cooling B. Physical processes C. Chemical processes D. Build up of plant and animal remains?
A. Lava cooling. Sedimentary rocks are formed through the accumulation and cementation of sediments through physical or chemical processes, or by the build-up of plant and animal remains. Lava cooling forms igneous rocks, not sedimentary rocks.
What is flat area of ocean floor covered in mud sand and plant and animal remains?
The flat area of ocean floor covered in mud, sand, and plant and animal remains is known as the continental shelf. This area extends from the shoreline to the beginning of the steeper continental slope and is characterized by relatively shallow waters. The sediments found on the continental shelf provide important habitats for marine organisms and play a crucial role in nutrient cycling.
What causes the remains of an animal or plant to decay?
fungi and animals
What feed on dead plant and animal remains?
Detritivores feed on dead plant and animal remains.
What has to happen for a fossil to form?
for the animal or plant to decay
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.
Oil and coal are?
Oil is a concentrated by-product from the decay of ancient plant and animal remains on the ocean floor and is considered a natural resource but not a mineral. Coal deposits are composed of the remains of mostly plant life that has undergone sedimentation and lithification. It is not considered a mineral, but a sedimentary rock.
What are the fosslis?
The remains of an animal. -------------------------- Fossils are the remains of a dead plant or animal that have been preserved for a long time.
Is the remains or imprint of a prehistoric plant or animal?
fossil
What is the process that cause changes in plant an animal cells?
Mutations cause changes in plant an animal cells.
Coal forms from plant remains that are buried before they decay and are then compacted into matter that is composed mainly of .?
Carbon
Which organisms feed on decomposing plant and animal remains?
detritivores
What happens to the oxygen in a eutrophic lake?
it decreases due to decay of plant and animal material
What is a consumer that feeds on plant and animal remains and dead matter?
A scavenger eats the remains of dead animals.
