Explanation:

There is a LOOOONG process for this so here it is;

First things first.The animal dies. Soft parts of the animal's body, including skin and muscles, start to rot away. Scavengers may come and eat some of the remains. Before the body disappears completely, it is buried by sediment - usually mud, sand or silt. Often at this point only the bones and teeth remain. Many more layers of sediment build up on top. This puts a lot of weight and pressure onto the layers below, squashing them. Eventually, they turn into sedimentary rock. While this is happening, water seeps into the bones and teeth, turning them to stone as it leaves behind minerals. This process can take thousands or even millions of years.

I hope this answer helped. Thank you!

All of the above, here's an explanation. The sun helps the water cycle due to evaporation which causes it to turn into a steam/gas. Now for wind, it's because the sun heats up the air and causes thermal energy which later turns into wind. And finally, weather, obviously the sun evaporates water which causes it to be rainy/drowsy.

Answer:

Gastro-esophageal reflux disease is a disease in which the upset stomach causes re-flux of acid back to esophagus. This may produce highly uncomfortable feeling of chest burn that may last even for two hours. GERD can get worse after eating because more volume of acids are released by stomach on detection of food like fast food and food that have high protein content. Patients are recommended to lose weight because that loses the pressure on abdomen a decreases the chance of GERD. Head elevation is also recommended to keep the acid within the stomach. It is same in while sitting upright after eating is recommended by doctors. GERD symptoms may have some respiratory complications like lung inflammation and chest congestion due to the action of stomach acid. This may lead to asthama.
