Question

select yes for the conditions that promote the process of fossilization and no for those that dont.
desert with high winds
anoxic swamp
low energy environment
dry environments
rushing river
coarse sediment

Explanation:

• Desert with high Winds: High winds can erode and scatter remains, so it does not promote fossilization.
• Anoxic Swamp: Anoxic (low - oxygen) conditions reduce decomposition by bacteria, which is good for fossilization.
• Low Energy Environment: In a low - energy environment (e.g., a calm lake bottom), sediments are deposited gently, and remains are more likely to be preserved without being disturbed.
• Dry Environments: Dry environments can slow down decomposition, but they lack the sedimentation that is often crucial for long - term fossil preservation (unlike anoxic swamps or low - energy sedimentary basins).
• Rushing River: A rushing river has high energy, which can break apart and scatter remains, so it does not promote fossilization.
• Coarse Sediment: Coarse sediment (e.g., large gravel) has larger spaces between particles. Remains can be damaged as coarse sediment moves (due to water or wind action), and it does not provide the fine - grained, stable burial that is ideal for fossilization.

Answer:

• Desert with high Winds: No
• Anoxic Swamp: Yes
• Low Energy Environment: Yes
• Dry Environments: No
• Rushing River: No
• Coarse Sediment: No
