What conditions are required for plants and animals to fossilize?
mainly high pressure but you'll also need sediment such as rock or sand to smash it and as the soft parts of the plant decay they leave impressions on the rock
What is an unaltered fossil?
It's when the rock dies and is attacked by decomposers. This is why it has a small chance of becoming a fossil, but if it does, it gets covered by sediment where it slowly starts to decay. The rock then starts to be preserved where the first layer of sediment is compressed by the weight.
Does algae decay and consume oxygen when they die?
When Algae runs out of the proper nutrition it needs such as phosphates and other minerals it dies. Algae then dies and starts to decay during the decaying process Algae uses oxygen which is also why fish die from lack of oxygen. So to answer this question yes Algae does decay and consume oxygen.
What are the characteristic of rubber tire or other things that not decay?
Things that don't decay (or that don't decay quickly) are difficult to digest, for bacteria.
How do plants and animals causes biological weatering?
when plants and animals break/ decay there release chemicals from there bodies which breaks down rocks also the roots of plants sometime penetrate through the rock causing it to crack
What type of a rock is mudstone?
Mudstone is a clastic sedimentary rock.
Is mudstone a rock or a mineral?
Mudstone is a clasitc sedimentary rock.
Which rock has the smallest particles mudstone or conglomerate?
mudstone has smaller particles :D
How is mudstone made?
Mudstone is a mudrock. It is made of clay minerals and other very small pieces of rock. Mudstone is sedimentary.
Sedimentary rock also known as mudstone?
Sedimentary rock is a type of rock formed from the accumulation of sediment, which can include particles like sand, silt, and clay. Mudstone is a type of sedimentary rock that is composed primarily of clay and silt-sized particles. Mudstone is often characterized by its fine-grained texture and ability to split into thin layers.
What are mudstones?
Mudstone is sedimentary rock.
Is mudstone a Metamorphic rock?
No, mudstone is a type of sedimentary rock formed from the compression and cementation of fine-grained mud and silt particles. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of pre-existing rocks due to high pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
What type of rock is limestone sandstone and mudstone made of?
Sedimentary rock
What type of metamorphic rock could be produced from mud?
If the mud has lithified into shale or mudstone, then metamorphosed, the answer would be slate.
Sedimentary rock that is made from clays is called?
Mudstone or shale.
What mineral is a mudstone?
Mustone is a clastic sedimentary rock, not a mineral.
How can mudstone be changed into a metamorphic rock?
Mudstone can be changed into a metamorphic rock through the process of metamorphism, where it is subjected to high temperature and pressure. This causes recrystallization of minerals, reorganization of grains, and the development of new mineral assemblages, transforming the mudstone into a new metamorphic rock such as slate, schist, or gneiss.
