The correct answer is - B. Organisms with hard parts made of shell or bone are more likely to become fossilized.

If we go through the fossils we can easily notice that the fossils that have been found are by far dominated by bone and shell remains of animals, rather than animals without bone structure or plants.

The reason for this is that the organisms decompose very quickly, and it is the hard parts, the bones and the shells that remain as the last parts once an organism is dead. The soft tissue is almost impossible for preservation, even in perfect conditions for preservation of an average fossil. The hard parts, on the other hand, are able to remain as they are for millions of years, with only basic conditions for preservation, and the reason for that is the material from which they are made off.

This is the reason why when we go to natural museums we mostly see skeletons of died out animals, while the fossils of animals without any hard parts, or those of plants, are usually prints on rocks, being more of a picture, but not containing part of the real thing.

Answer:

Reasons for migration.

Explanation:

Migration is a process that has been happening since the emergence of humankind. The main reasons for it have always been the same - a better life and a safer life. While over time there have been numerous other reasons that have emerged as humans developed more and more, the two basic ones are still the leading ones.

  • When the Soviets decided to deny the rigths of the Jews, the Jews felt insecure, both financially and for their lives, so they had a big push factor to migrate to other countries.
  • Ethiopia is a country where the living conditions are bad, and when the country faces a severe drought the majority of the population experiences famine. Having a lack of food means that your life is at stake, thus people try to move into countries where they will at least have enough food to survive.
  • The war in Bosnia, in which the Muslims, Serbians, and Croatians engaged, resulted in genocides. People were naturally affraid for their lives and the lives of their families, so they did everything they can to migrate to safer countries.
  • Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the Caribbean region. The widespread poverty means poor living conditions, so being so close to well-developed countries like the USA motivates the people to migrate in order to have better opportunities and higher life quality.
