Why do only a tiny percentage of living things ever become fossils?

OLga [1]3 years ago
3 0
Fossilization is a process that requires certain conditions so that it can take place. The climate is very important, a hot and wet place is not a place where there's a chance of finding fossils, while the places with permafrost are a much better candidate because the bacteria can not dissolve the organisms. The pressure also can play a vital role. A place that manages to keep the organisms safe from outside influence, like the tar pits, are excellent preservers. Also the structure of the organisms play a key role, a boneless organism is very hard to preserve and be fossilized, while an organism with bone structure has a bigger chance of being preserved.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Earth's varying distance from the Sun,

Explanation:

There has been an established fact that the sunrise and sunset times varies because of the earth’s tilt in its orbit and its varying distance from the sun. At different locations on the earth, the times when the sun comes up and goes down would certainly be different on any given day. The north of Gisborne in New Zealand witnesses the world's first sunrise each and every day.

Riley rubs two rocks together. She notices that some of the surface of one of the rocks was worn away to form small particles. W
ss7ja [257]
Given that Riley is a human, it's strange to use the terms erosion or weathering to describe her interaction with rocks. Nevertheless, Erosion is the transport of surface materials (soil, rocks, etc.) through the actions of wind, water, and ice, while weathering is the physical/chemical breakdown or change of objects due to weather conditions occuring mainly through the action of wind, water, and temperature on rocks and soil. This coupled with the fact that erosion occurs over a distance makes the best answer weathering.
