Reply:1. The process whereby remains of organisms are turned into fossil fuels is called





a. carbonization





--Carbonization/Carbonisation is the term for the conversion of an organic substance into carbon or a carbon-containing residue through pyrolysis. It is often used in organic chemistry


with reference to the generation of coal gas and coal tar from raw coal. Fossil fuels in general are the products of the carbonization of vegetable matter.--





2. Coal is formed from fossilized





d. plants





--Coal (IPA: /ˈkəʊl/) is a fossil fuel formed in swamp ecosystems where plant remains were saved by water and mud from oxidization and biodegradation.--





3. The most common fossils found in nature are:





b. trace fossils





--Trace fossils are the most common fossils found in nature. They are impressions left in the sediment from once living things. Common trace fossils are footprints or walkways, resting spots, living burrows, feeding burrows, casts and molds. They are not the original parts of an animal. A trace fossil is preserved when mud or dirt that was disturbed by something living hardens and keeps its shape.--
