The onyx is referred to as the hard protective plate which is composed mostly of keratin.

<h3>What is Onyx?</h3>

This is also referred to as natural nail and is found at the base of the fingers and toes of some organisms. This physical feature has different uses according to the animals involved.

It is composed of keratin which is a type of protein also present in the hair and is responsible for the tough properties however, the ones in the nails are harder.

djverab [1.8K]
The correct answer here is C. Water molecules are more free to move, so they will be able to engage in rapid and fluid contact with magma. This is in contrast to fixed continental rock, which may have quick initial heat transfer but which tapers off quickly because the rock is not flexible enough to send cooler rock towards the magma.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The correct answer is desert-dwelling species.

Explanation:

Any preserved remains, trace or impression of anything, which was once living in the past is termed as a fossil. The examples of fossils comprise stone imprints of microbes or animals, bones, exoskeletons, shells, coral, remnants of DNA, the substances getting preserved in amber, and others.  

For the formation of fossils, the most essential condition is decomposition that takes place gradually, that is, at a slow pace. Thus, places like wet marshy areas will be the locations where the maximum of the fossils can be found as such places provide optimum conditions for slow mineralization and decomposition of bones.  

On the other hand, places like deserts would be the least likely to have a fossil record as deserts are devoid of optimum conditions required for the formation of fossils. In places like a desert, decomposition and demineralization of the components like bones take place at a brisk rate.
