Answer: Minerals

Explanation: The body decomposes and after about 40 to 50 years bones are mostly brittle and dry with no traces of flesh. After thousands of years bones also disintegrate (decay) leaving brittle mineral frame. The life of bones is determined by the soil type its buried in, nuetral soils takes longer then acidic soil condition.

In this case osteocytes(bone cells) are the first to decompose followed by the cartilage and bone marrow, leaving behind mineral traces that scientist can study after thousand years.

How does dispersal help different species? dispersal helps different species to increase their range of places, thereby helping
icang [17]

Dispersal helps different species to increase their range of places, thereby helping to increase their population size in different regions. Dispersal also helps to avoid crowding of diseases of a single location as species move to different locations.

<h3>What is dispersal?</h3>
  • Dispersal is the act of distributing things over a large area. It is when the individuals or seeds move from one site to their growing site.
  • Dispersal can be active (move by oneself) or passive (require dispersers).
  • Seed dispersal is the mechanism of transport of plant seeds to new sites for germination and the establishment of new individuals and colonies.
  • This depends upon the effectiveness of the seed dispersers.
  • Seed dispersal occurs by wind, water, animals, bats, explosions or gravity of the earth.
  • Dispersal of seeds is very important for the survival of plant species.
  • If the plants of same type grow too closely, they have to compete with each other for light, water and nutrients from the soil.
  • Seed dispersal allows plants to spread out from a wide area and avoid competing with one another for the same resources.
