Well, when a plant or animal dies in a damp environment it will most likely get buried in mud or silt. The tissues over time will decompose and leave bones or shells behind ( depending on what was there originally it can vary) Eventually over time sediment builds up and hardens into rock.
I sincerely hope this helps you ~
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The correct answer is - Control microcosms did not contain living moss, while experimental microcosms did contain living moss.
Explanation:
The difference between the control microcosms and experiment Microcosms is, the presence of the living moss in the experimental group whereas the control group does not contain living moss.
The independent variable in this research setting is the presence or absence of the living moss and for the control group, the mosses are filtered out and only added the water.
