Answer:

F Anthracite (the hardest coal)

Explanation:

Coal is a sedimentary rock that is formed from plant materials. These plant materials must have been trapped and compacted in an environment where they are not able decay. Such an environment is a swamp.

The first grade of coal that forms initially in such an environment is called PEAT. Peat is soft coal that still contains some plant materials. It has a high moisture content and the amount of carbon is still quite low.

With increasing pressure and compaction, PEAT grades into LIGNITE which has more carbon atoms in it. Lignite is more combustible although it is quite soft too. Lignite grades into SUB-BITUMINOUS coal and then BITUMIOUS coal.

The highest grade of coal is ANTHRACITE which is a hard coal. It has very little moisture content and rich carbon percentage in it. Anthracite yields more energy compared to other forms of coal. Anthracite is basically coal that forms at the greastest pressure. Beyond this pressure, a metamorphic transformation occurs and the coals changes to graphite.

Based on increasing pressure:

PEAT< LIGNITE< BITUMINOUS COAL < ANTHRACITE

Population growth is characterized with the descriptors J‐shaped curve, S‐shaped curve, and K. Determine if each of the followin
NemiM [27]

Please find question attached

Answer and Explanation:

Example of j shaped curve is population that is doubling in size and exponential growth. in j shaped curve, population increases rapidly and exponentially and then stops suddenly to start decreasing when resources are limited

logistic growth and population whose size is approaching the carrying capacity of the environment are examples of S shaped curve. here population increases slowly and then rapidly before it becomes stable as approaching zero growth

Population size that a particular environment can support indefinitely without long-term damage to the environment and carrying capacity

is indicated by K . Here population is maximum and has reached saturation and will no longer increase

ollegr [7]

Answer:

They preserve the entire fossil remain rather than there traces.

Explanation:

  • Amber is a fossilized resin from an ancient forest. It used as a healing agent in folklore. It is a product of high pressure and temperature.  
  • They occur in a wide range of color and many geological records are found in amber hidden fossils. Its main property is to preserve the complete chemical and physical properties of the fossil.  
  • Oldest known amber was of an arthropod, often found in association with insects. The amber fossils are believed to have been derived from older Eocene deposits. Later formations of glacial drift.  
  • While a mold of fossil is formed by an animal, plane or other organisms which upon dying to get covered sediments and later its bones are decay due to chemical processes. Mold fossils tell traces of extinct organisms like trail track etc.
  • Molds and casts are three-dimensional representations of organisms.
