Answer:
Explanation:Sedimentary rocks can contain fossils because, unlike most igneous and metamorphic rocks, they form at temperatures and pressures that do not destroy fossil remains.
Newton's universal law of gravitation states that all objects attract each other with a force directly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. When considering objects on the surface of the Earth, the force is directly proportional to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface. Since the Earth is larger than any other object under consideration, the object is drawn toward the Earth.
Explanation:
The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by Newton's universal law of gravitation:
where
:
is the gravitational constant
m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between them
This force is always attractive.
At the Earth's surface, this can be rewritten as

with
where M is the mass of the Earth, R is its radius, and m the mass of the object.
g is called acceleration due to gravity and it is the value of the acceleration due to the force of gravity of any object near the Earth's surface (its value is approximately
. Since the Earth is much more massive than any other object, the object is attracted towards the Earth (so, it accelerates towards it); the Earth is also attracted by the object, however, being its mass so large, its acceleration is negligible.

Soil microorganisms are very important as almost every chemical transformation taking place in soil involves active contributions from soil microorganisms. In particular, they play an active role in soil fertility as a result of their involvement in the cycle of nutrients like carbon and nitrogen, which are required for plant growth. For example, soil microorganisms are responsible for the decomposition of the organic matter entering the soil (e.g. plant litter) and therefore in the recycling of nutrients in soil. Certain soil microorganisms such as mycorrhizal fungi can also increase the availability of mineral nutrients (e.g. phosphorus) to plants. Other soil microorganisms can increase the amount of nutrients present in the soil. For instance, nitrogen-fixing bacteria can transform nitrogen gas present in the soil atmosphere into soluble nitrogenous compounds that plant roots can utilise for growth. These microorganisms, which improve the fertility status of the soil and contribute to plant growth, have been termed 'biofertilizers' and are receiving increased attention for use as microbial inoculants in agriculture. Similarly, other soil microorganisms have been found to produce compounds (such as vitamins and plant hormones) that can improve plant health and contribute to higher crop yield. These microorganisms (called 'phytostimulators') are currently studied for possible use as microbial inoculants to improve crop yield.
<span>Micro-organisms isolated from rhizospheres and rhizoplanes of wheat plants, and from root-free soil, produced growth regulating substances with the properties of gibberellins and indolyl-3-acetic acid (IAA). Substances inhibiting extensions of pea plant internodes and lettuce hypocotyls were also produced, especially by bacteria from the root region of seedlings 6 days old. Bacteria producing growth promoting substances were most abundant on roots of older plants. </span>
<span>Seedlings grown aseptically with added gibberellic acid (GA3) and IAA, or grown with a soil inoculum, developed similarly and differed in their morphology from those grown aseptically without additives</span>
