The choices are:

A) Fossils are preserved in the rocks formed from the sediments deposited by rivers.

B)The bodies of organisms get preserved due to the dry weather conditions in the state.

C)The bodies of the organisms were preserved as lava from ancient volcanoes solidified into rock.

D) The erosion caused by the flooding of the Mississippi River ensures that the bodies of the organisms are well preserved.

Answer:

The answer is letter A, Fossils are preserved in the rocks formed from the sediments deposited by rivers.

Explanation:

"Fossils" are regarded as the<em> organism's preserved remains. </em>The remains of ancient organisms are embedded into the "sedimentary rocks." These rocks are comprised of layers of sediments or organic particles that settle into the earth or ocean.

In the situation above, the remains or fossils of whales and other organisms were embedded or deposited into the sediments in the river beds. This explains why their fossils were found in the southern parts of Mississippi.

A food shows many food chains within a community and how they overlap.
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The food chain describes who eats whom in the wild. Every living thing—from one-celled algaeto giant blue whales—needs food to survive. Each food chain is a possible pathway that energy and nutrients can follow through the ecosystem.

For example, grass produces its own food from sunlight. A rabbit eats the grass. A fox eats the rabbit. When the fox dies, bacteria break down its body, returning it to the soil where it provides nutrients for plants like grass.

Of course, many different animals eat grass, and rabbits can eat other plants besides grass. Foxes, in turn, can eat many types of animals and plants. Each of these living things can be a part of multiple food chains. All of the interconnected and overlapping food chains in an ecosystem make up a food web.
