Rocks and minerals showed evidence of <u>oxidation</u>causes by the presence of oxygen in the air. In the second example, <u>organisms</u> actually created new rock after being dissolved in water or buried underground.
<h3>What is oxidation and fossilization?</h3>
Oxidation is the chemical reaction which usually takes place when a substance comes into contact with oxygen or another oxidizing substance.
Fossilization refers to the process of preserving the plant and animals remains in sedimentary rocks.
Oxidation also includes the other reactions as well in which electrons are lost.

According to one hypothesis, life on earth emerged from (bluegreen algae/ amino acids/ molten metals/ crustal rocks) in the presence of large amounts of gasses seeping from deep ocean vents. ANother process called primordial soup suggests that the formation of life was due to the effects of (lightning/sunlight/gravity/meteorites) in earths atmosphere.
The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest living structure. It is made up of around 2900 individual reefs and 900 islands. ... Climate change is perhaps the biggest threat to the Great Barrier Reef. Warmer ocean temperatures put stress on coral and lead to coral bleaching.
