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.

250 word narrative about your personal American cultural experience
8_murik_8 [283]
Hey there! Hello!

So, I don't want to write this for you (in fact, I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to) since I can't exactly identify your personal experiences with American culture. But, I can give you some pointers for this narrative to base you writing on. 

It helps to know exactly what the staples of American culture are. Basically, think of all of the things that makes America, America. What does the American experience mean to you? Is it the freedom to practice your religion, or have the ability to express yourself in the (legal) ways you choose? Is it the ability to enter and end relationships and marry whoever you want in the eyes of the law? Is it our diverse and multilingual nature? Is it the food that people first think of when they hear "Do you want American food for dinner?" Is it the artistic aspect of living here, where art museums, ability to major in art and writing, and general exposure to art and writing is common? Is it the prominence of music in our modern society? Is it the sports that bind the people of the nation together? Is it the (only sort-of limited) ability for LGBT people to live fearlessly in the eyes of the law and nation as a whole, with communities and help they can look to in their times of need? 

What defines the experience for you? What's important to you as an American? That's what they're trying to get at with this assignment. Feel free to explore topics of American culture that go beyond the ones I have listed here, since there must be many more. 

Hope this helped you out! Feel free to ask me any additional questions if you have any. :-)

Landlocked sea that borders russia and iran
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Caspian Sea

Explanation:

The largest lake in the world, or often referred to as a landlocked sea, the Caspian Sea, is the body of water on which both Russia and Iran come out and have borders on it. Iran occupies the southern part of the Caspian Sea, while Russia occupies the northern half of its western part and the northwestern part. The other three countries that have their share in this lake are Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan.

The Caspian Sea is actually a lake, as in order to be classified as a sea it has to be connected with the rest of the ocean and sea waters, and it is not, it is landlocked. It has saline water though, which is why it is referred to as a sea. The saline water in it is there because this lake is a remnant of a once very large ocean, Tethys, that was stretching all the way from Spain to Indonesia, and from the central part of the Indian Ocean to Central Asia. With the movement of the Indian plate toward southern Eurasia, and the African toward western Eurasia, this ocean was closed down. The collision of these plates with he Eurasian caused the formation of numerous mountain chains as well, so Tethys was totally destroyed, only leaving behind it remnants like the Caspian Sea deep inland.
