Which process changes the space between the grains in a metamorphic rock

Compaction

What is a sediment transporting agent

Photosynthesis

Apex =]

Which conditions are best for fossil formation

Probably the best condition for fossil creation/preservation would be aqueous catastrophism(ie... flood), stratum deposited in rapid succession. Quick coverage of plant or life form would/do present terrific fossils.

The answer of 'Quick freezing' is not so likely. I can't think of anywhere there would suddenly be 'flash freezing' upon our planet. Life forms would have a chance to move away from such conditions of cold and plants would die out. Although death within a cold temperature area would lend to good preservation of a life form.

"Quick Freezing"

Is the following is an intrusive igneous body Pyroclast Lava Flow Lahar Batholith

Batholith is an intrusive igneous body.

Where did the fossil fuels get there energy

Ultimately, all energy only comes from the Sun. This is how the energy is transferred: Sun>plants>animals. Therefore, fossil fuels obtain their energy from plants itself and animals when they've consumed plants.

Is global warming an environmental consequence of the use of fossil fuels

Yes.

How has Earth changed during our current era

Dense forest developed

Coal was created by the squeezing of over millions of years.

Trees

What caused disappearance of land bridges

Shrinking of the polar ice caps
