Petrification happens when substances or objects get replaced with mineral molecules, so that would be the first answer; shell bone or wood is replaced with dissolved minerals.

Why does japan feel the need to conquer other nations ? right answer DONT GUESS ​please
Ede4ka [16]
To put it short, Japan was scared.

Scared of what? Well, Japan was scared of going down the same way China did. A long time ago, Japan used to isolate itself. It refused to open its harbors to foreign countries, and so fell behind technology-wise.

A ship from the United States Navy arrived on the harbor of Japan. The Japanese told the ship to back off, but it kept going on. After the Japanese showed some aggression, the ship began shelling the nearby buildings. The captain of the ship forced the leader of Japan, the shogun, to sign a treaty with them to open its harbors.

This absolutely devastated the Japanese. The belief that they were strong was devastated by the United States Navy.

Japan had a giant reform in which power was given back to the emperor and industrialization began.

The country, knowing that it had to be as modern as possible, essentially copied actions of the West.

Unfortunately, one of these actions was imperialism. Japan had an incentive to conquer other nations, and they did exactly that until WW2 ended.

Why a high ratio of surface area to volume benefits a cell
Ivahew [28]
Maximum surface area allows the cells for maximum exchange of nutrients and water with the environment. This exchange with the environment is not visible if the volume of the cells is higher. Therefore a high ratio of surface area to volume benefits a cell.
