D is the correct answer. The fast it takes for them to be buried the more common it is that they will become fossilized.
B is not true because the longer it takes, the less likely it will be fossilized, this is because it could possibly be moved the longer its there.
An explosion occurs when the timescale for the energy release by some process is much shorter than the timescale on which a system can adjust to damp the energy release process. In the present day Sun, nuclear fusion is a very slow process: on average it takes many billion years for a proton to fuse with another. This timescale is quite temperature dependent, so you might have thought the centre of the Sun might heat up quickly, leading to a runaway "explosion". However, an increase in temperature leads to an increase in pressure that would expand the Sun, reducing the core density and temperature and decreasing the rate of nuclear fusion again. The timescale for the Sun to react in this way is just millions of years, so this acts like a thermostat that keeps the reactions under control.
Answer :
(A). Charles Lyell correctly explained how fossils form and formulated some of the basic principles of relative dating
Explanation:
Charles Lyell was a Scottish geologist who demonstrated the power of known natural causes in explaining Earth's history.
Relative dating is the science of determining the relative order of past events, without actually deciding its absolute age.
Charles Lyell's principle of inclusions and components, explains that, with sedimentary rocks, if inclusions are found in a formation, then the inclusions must be older than the formation that contains them.
The answer is C: "and how the silence surged softly backward"
