Answer:

Explanation:

Organisms are well preserved in mud because mud has high water holding capacity. It retains water and does not allow oxygen flow which can destroy the remains of organisms. There are some microbes that preserved whose growth are enhanced in water related environment like mud.

But sand cannot retain or hold water. It drains it off and all oxygen bearing water to flow which enhance decay compared to mud. It can't preserve organisms because of the above reasons.

Answer:

Organisms are more likely to be well preserved in mud than in sand because sand allows oxygen that has water(oxygen-bearing water) to flow through it. This type of oxygen speeds up decay. Mud does not have this oxygen so it prevents the flow of water, and keeping oxygen away means it slows decay of the buried organisms.

Hope this helps! :D

You might want to write more and/or change it a little because my teacher only gave me half points for this. :(

What are you actually measuring when you find the temperature of a substance? List three fossil fuels. How are they different fr
pychu [463]
<span>Three fossil fuels are, natural gas, coal and oil
I guess what could differentiate them is that: </span>Coal is a solid fossil fuel formed over millions of years by decay of land vegetation. When layers are compacted and heated over time, deposits are turned into coal. Whereas Oil is a liquid fossil fuel that is formed from the remains of marine microorganisms deposited on the sea floor and gas like oil, it is formed from the remains of marine microorganisms.<span>
So the difference could be how they are formed</span>
