Rigor mortise/ initial decay

Answer: Rigor mortis

Rigor mortis or postmortem stiffening is the one of the stages of the changes that occurs in the dead body. It initiates after primary flaccidity in which the body relaxes after death and stiffening starts after that. In this all muscles of the body are affected. It starts developing after two to six hours after death. It first begins in the eyelids, then on neck and jaw and finally to upper and lower parts of the body. It develops due to the accumulation of lactic acid in the body. The accomplishment of rigor mortis results in the softening or relaxation of the body which is called as secondary relaxation.

A sedimentary rock containing a fern fossil was found. What does this tell about the area at the time the rock was formed
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

D) The area was on land.

Explanation:

We can tell that this is the answer because of the process of elimination.

- It is not A or C, because there is not enough information given to us to determine whether the area was hot or cold.

- It is not B, because ferns do not grow in the ocean. (Unless it a specific type of water fern that have not heard about... but this is <u>highly unlikely</u>, so don't worry.)

- This leaves us with: D) The area was on land. This is the correct answer because ferns do grow on land, and a sedimetary rock containing a fern fossil is much more likely to be found on land than on the ocean floor.

Hope I could help!
