Why are rocks not melting deep in the earth’s crust?

What would happen to the nutrients in an ecosystem if decomposers, such as bacteria, didn’t exist there?

On a recent expedition to a remote region of northern canada, scientists uncovered skeletal remains from about 100,000 years ago. surprisingly, all the skeletal remains, which included many species from differing biological families and spanned about two thousand years, showed evidence of experiencing temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees fahrenheit (or 538 degrees celsius). which of the following, if true, best explains the apparent paradox between the cold environment and the evidence of the bones experiencing hot temperatures? (a) chemical changes that naturally occur during the process of decay in only one north canadian species produce the same evidence of the species' skeletons being exposed to hot temperatures as the expedition scientists found. (b) a little over 103,000 years ago, a large fire is known to have occurred in northern canada. (c) strong evidence exists that as early as 70,000 years ago, homo sapiens around the world relied heavily on fire to cook animals. (d) in the same expedition and in roughly the same layer of excavation, scientists found rudimentary wood cutting and hunting tools used by early humans.

The carbon cycle is best defined as a process in which a. carbon changes from inorganic forms to organic forms and back b. carbon is changed into other elements such as oxygen or nitrogen c. carbon is continually created from the sun’s energy by plants d. carbon is consumed and regenerated from other elements such as oxygen and nitrogen
