A . Leaves were trapped between layers of sediment millions of years ago, causing the imprint

Explanation:

The only true explanation that perfectly describes the rock is that the leaves were trapped between the layers of sediment millions of years ago causing the imprint.

Leaf imprints are often referred to as trace fossils.

  • Trace fossils points to the different life activities an organism must have been engaged in.
  • When a leaf is trapped in a soft sediment between two layers, the compaction of the sediment can duplicate the form of leaf on beds.
  • This gives a physical overview to the nature of leaf.
  • Such an imprint did not grow, and cannot be attributed to metamorphic processes(option D).
  • Option C is completely wrong

Which stage is the last stage of speciation?
gtnhenbr [62]

The populations become adapted to different environments and eventually become so different that they cannot interbreed to produce fertile offspring.

Speciation is the evolution of one species into two different kinds, and when they become isolated, that is the final step, since they cannot interbreed any longer.

Paul [167]
 <span>A law is a theory that has explained a number of observed phenomena, and it has predicted a number of other phenomena which may as yet be unobserved.  

In that sense, a law is a theory that has not yet been proven wrong or given rise to any contradictions. 

A theory is just a theory until it has been proven true by experiments and observation</span>

uysha [10]

Answer:

A. The energy is transformed to vibrational energy in the sand, rocks, and air.

Explanation:

energy is transformed to vibrational energy in the sand, rocks, and air, cold water from the poles sinks, leaving behind higher salinity water. The beach is an isolated system, so energy is permitted to leave the the system and the energy from the water is not destroyed.
