Because of magnetic field of earth D. Because of magnetic field of sun answers C When animals, plants and other organisms die, they typically decay completely. But sometimes, when the conditions are just right, they're preserved as fossils. Several different physical and chemical processes create fossils, according to the New York State Geological Survey. Freezing, drying and encasement, such as in tar or resin, can create whole- body fossils that preserve bodily tissues. These fossils represent the organisms as they were when living, but they're very rare. Most organisms become fossils when they're changed through various other means. The heat and pressure from being buried in sediment can sometimes cause the tissues of organisms — including plant leaves and the soft body parts of fish, reptiles and marine invertebrates — to release hydrogen and oxygen, leaving behind a residue of carbon. What title could be best assigned to the above passage? A. How fossils are formed. B. How fossils are pres answers B

"Of her first master, she can give no account, as she must have been a mere infant when he died; and she, with her parents and some ten or twelve other fellow human chattels, became the legal property of his son, Charles Ardinburgh. She distinctly remembers hearing her father and mother say, that their lot was a fortunate one, as Master Charles was the best of the family,—being, comparatively speaking, a kind master to his slaves."

However, the future of voting is electronic. Voting machines are only a first step. The possibility of remote Internet voting will bring incredible benefits in terms of accessibility and voter turnout. These are not benefits we can afford to pass up. We need to find solutions to the security issues, because electronic voting is inevitable. Speaker B: Voting machines are a short-cut that we can't afford. The mechanization of voting makes us vulnerable to unprecedented security issues. If hackers can compromise our voting, we will lose democracy in this country. The risks of electronic voting are too great. We need to take steps to make electronic voting illegal in this country.

In August 1945 the United States unleashed a new weapon of mass destruction against the Japanese at Hiroshima and Nagasaki and brought an end to World War II... In 1945 the United States possessed a monopoly on this new dreadful weapon. The exclusiveness was short-lived, however. In 1949 the Soviet Union exploded its first atomic bomb. Although the United States and the Soviet Union had been wartime allies, by this time they had become peacetime enemies with conflicting ideologies and competing global interests. In an attempt to get or maintain an advantage in the power and numbers of nuclear weapons, both nations embarked on an arms race...

Nuclear fallout refers to the radioactive particles that fall out of the sky for weeks after a nuclear blast.

Private homes and public buildings had fallout shelters that were stocked with canned goods and other necessities. Preparing for nuclear war became a serious part of life's routine in the 1950s, similar to fire drills in schools today.

Passage 1 In the western United States, wildfires have covered larger areas of forests in recent years. Fires covering hundreds of thousands of acres occur with increasing frequency. Increasing fires mean increased costs of firefighting, damage to homes, and damage to forested areas. Some of the damage to natural resources is irreversible. Two main potential causes of increased fire activity are the way land has been used over the years, and changes in climate. The solution to increased fire activity will depend on its causes. If land-use history is the main cause of increased fires, then revitalizing land and using land in new ways may hold the key to reducing wildfires. On the other hand, if climate change is the cause of increased fires, these efforts may not yield results, and the root cause of climate change will need to be addressed. Who of the following is concerned with the same general principle as the write answers 2)A cancer researcher trying to understand the cause of cancer to find a cure Passage 1 September 11th, 2001 was a day that affected the lives of all Americans.
