Question

what three conditions make rocky mountaintop environments unfavorable for forming fossils?
a. there is a lack of sediments.
b. a variety of organisms live there.
c. sloped ground increases erosion.
d. air temperatures are generally cool or cold.
e. most organisms living there have soft bodies.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Fossils form when organisms are buried quickly in sediments. Lack of sediments (A) means less chance of burial. Sloped ground (C) causes erosion, which can remove remains before fossilization. Soft - bodied organisms (E) decay more easily and are less likely to fossilize compared to those with hard parts.

Answer:

A. There is a lack of sediments.
C. Sloped ground increases erosion.
E. Most organisms living there have soft bodies.
