Which best describes how fossil fuels form?

Biology
1 answer:
Reika [66]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Decayed organisms are compressed underground

Explanation:

Fossils are the remains of organisms that are buried in a rock during sediment deposition over long geological time period. Since the bodies of these organisms is made of organic compounds, the high pressure of the overlying rock turns them into the hydrocarbons or fossil fuels. Therefore, option D is correct.

On the other hand, options A-C are incorrect because of following reasons:

  • Burning of natural gas doesn't form fossil fuel but CO2. In fact, natural gas is also a form of fossil fuel which is released from a rock hosting fossils.
  • Sunlight doesn't convert grass to coal. In fact, sunlight cannot penetrate deeper into the geological rocks. Rather it will cause the weathering of surface sediments directly exposed to sunlight.
  • Farms are not used to produce natural gas rather natural gas is produced inside a rock hosting bodies of living organisms.

How do you think the rock layers and fossils found in Red Rock Canyon can provide evidence for Earth's geologic history?
Bogdan [553]

Answer and Explanation:

Red Rock Canyon is an area of universal geologic interest, located a few miles west of Las Vegas within the Mojave Desert. Many experienced geologists visit the Red Rock; they are surprised by the vivid colors of rocks, natural beauty, and rock formations. A visual display takes million years to make the masterpiece known as the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation area. About 500 million years ago, Red Rock Canyon was found at the bottom of an ocean basin. Limestone accumulated in this ocean basin, which contains the fossils of sea life. The tracks of two-footed meat-eating dinosaurs have been found in the Aztec Sandstone. The tracks of small animals such as spiders, scorpions, early mammals, and proto-mammals were also found. The fossils and rock layers that are found in Red Rock Canyon provide evidence for Earth’s geologic history.  Paleontologists are still searching these areas.

How does passive transport occur?​
Setler [38]

Answer:

In passive transport, substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Diffusion through a permeable membrane moves a substance from an area of high concentration (extracellular fluid, in this case) down its concentration gradient (into the cytoplasm).
