In order for most things to decay, decay causing bacteria have to be present and alive. Below freezing temperatures will also freeze this bacteria and stop the decaying process. This is why we use freezers to preserve food today.
When human bodies are swept away by a tsunami, they may become trapped, entangled in debris, or be carried far out to sea. Due to the force of the water and impact with objects, the bodies may be injured or suffer trauma. Unfortunately, recovery efforts may be challenging due to the vast areas affected by tsunamis.
The four types of nuclear decay are alpha decay, beta decay, gamma decay, and neutron decay. Alpha decay involves the emission of an alpha particle, beta decay involves the emission of beta particles (either electrons or positrons), gamma decay involves the emission of gamma rays, and neutron decay involves the emission of a neutron.
The best-preserved bodies have been found in extreme environments where natural mummification can occur, such as in arid deserts like the Atacama Desert in Chile and the Taklamakan Desert in China, or in cold environments like the permafrost regions in Siberia, Russia. These conditions help slow down the process of decay and decomposition, leading to the exceptional preservation of the bodies.
Because its not a decay process. Gamma is an emission of energy in the form of photons from the nucleus when the nucleus changes from one energy level to a lower energy level. It is true that this is often preceded by a decay event, such as alpha or beta, but it is a distinct, non decay, event.
Not necessarily. Each nuclide has its own half-life in the chain, with some steps slower, and some steps faster.
cuz its gay
they will stay preserved, like if they are frozen
nothing
decay and burn them in a long time
Examples: by dehydration, bacterial attack, insect attack.
He developed a morbid fascination with the process of decay in dead human bodies.
Not a whole bunch of dead bodies laying around...
Incorrupt is the term used to describe saints whose bodies do not decay after death when there is no explanation (embalming, etc.) for the occurrence.
they just put desert sand, salt and some herbs. they also removed certain organs that held moisturebecase moisture allows decay
Their bodies decay, and are also eaten by other animals, which in turn poop the nutrients into the soil.
because there flesh goes into the ground and into the soil. There bones are left.
It depends on which isotope you are asking about. Some decay through alpha, some decay through beta, some decay through other processes. All can leave the nucleus in an excited state, resulting in gamma emission.
