Bodies will always quickly decompose in water. Even in fairly cold seawater, a rule of thumb is that a body of someone who has drowned will be practically unidentifiable within 14 days and will have totally fallen apart in a few weeks more. Hotter water will speed up the process.
What else can I help you with?
What factors determine time of death of an animal?
Stages of decomposition, or stages of physiological/chemical responses that happen after an animal dies, such as rigor mortis.
When an animal exhales it releases carbon into the atmosphere What is another way in which an animal is part of the carbon cycle?
When an animal dies, bacteria release carbon in the body during the process of decomposition.
Water carbon and nitrogen are released back into the atmosphere during?
decomposition
Do all animal bodies contain water?
Yes, all animal bodies contain water. Water is a vital component of most living organisms, including animals, and plays crucial roles in various biological processes such as digestion, circulation, and temperature regulation. Water makes up a significant percentage of an animal's body weight and is essential for life.
Which animal cannot control body temperature by internal means?
a cold-blooded animal what ever the temp is where the animal is
What is the temperature of water decomposition?
Purely thermal decomposition of water begins around 1800 degrees Kelvin at 1 ATM. By about 2500 degrees Kelvin, approximately 50% of the water is in a molecular configuration other than H2O. By approximately 3500 Kelvin, nearly 100% of the water has decomposed into atomic H and O.
Thermal decomposition and decomposition temperature-is it refer to the same things?
Thermal decomposition is the process by which chemical bonds are broken in the presence of heat. Decomposition temperature is the temperature at which thermal decomposition occurs, which differs for different compounds.
How does the presence of water affect the decomposition of biodegradable materials?
Water helps to facilitate the decomposition of biodegradable materials by providing the necessary environment for microorganisms to break down organic matter. It also helps to regulate the temperature and oxygen levels necessary for decomposition. However, excessive water can slow down the decomposition process by limiting access to oxygen.
What is the hydrogen peroxide decomposition temperature?
The hydrogen peroxide decomposition temperature is approximately 150 degrees Celsius.
What temperature should compost be maintained at for optimal decomposition?
Compost should be maintained at a temperature between 110-160F for optimal decomposition.
What is the effect of moisture and warm temperature on decomposition?
Moisture and warm temperature speed decomposition. This is a form of abiotic decomposition as it employs a chemical or physical process without the involvement of micro-organisms.
Is there a maximum temperature for a solid to dissolve?
The temperature must be under the decomposition temperature of the substance.
Which is the decomposition temperature of zinc hydroxide?
Zinc hydroxide decomposes at around 125-150°C into zinc oxide and water vapor.
What is a property of a decomposition reaction?
Decomposition reactions always have one complex reactant and two or more simpler products.
What matter is converted into animal and microbial tissue during decomposition?
Organic matter is converted into animal and microbial tissue during decomposition. This matter can be then used to fertilize the soil.
Is decomposition of water into its elements a physical process?
The decomposition is a chemical process.
Why is a bird a warmblooded animal?
A bird is a warmblooded animal because it's body temperature/blood temperature do not match the temperature of the environment is in. A shark is cold-blooded because it's body temperature changes with the water it's in.
