Out of the following given choice;
F. replaces the animal's soft tissues.
G. enters the animal's body cavity.
H. hardens before the animal decays.
J. mineralizes the animal's bones.
The answer H. This can be caused by hot pyroclastic flows or falling volcanic ash from the atmosphere following a volcanic eruption. The ash buries animals and plants intact without moving them and without completely crushing or burning them. Over time excess silica dissolved in the water often replaces soft bone materials molecule by molecule, creating an almost indestructible fossil (like petrified wood) that lasts for millions of years
Fossil fuels release carbon dioxide gas when they burn which adds to the greenhouse effect and increases global warming. Of the three fossil fuels, for a given amount of energy released, coal produces the most carbon dioxide and natural gas produces the least.
