Mud is more likely than sand to fossilize an organism because mud has finer particles that can fill in cavities and preserve details of the organism's structure. In contrast, the looser nature of sand may not provide the same level of protection and support for fossilization.

What must usually happen in order for a dead organism to be preserved as a fossil?
B. The organism must be buried in sediment soon after it dies.C - the organism must go through a process of petrificationNeededMoist sediment or soilorganism trapped, dieslack of anything disturbing that areamoistness ; warmth ; heat to break down additional layeringpressure from more layers on toplengthy amount of time (millions of years)
Why is sand more dense than sugar?
Sand is more dense than sugar because sand particles are larger and heavier than sugar particles. This means that there are more mass in a given volume of sand, leading to a higher density compared to sugar.
When sand and water are exposed to the same radiation sand becomes hotter than water. Why?
Sand has a lower specific heat capacity than water, which means it requires less energy to increase its temperature. This results in sand absorbing more heat from the radiation compared to water. Additionally, water has a higher heat capacity, so it absorbs and retains heat more effectively than sand.
Are there more stars in the universe compared to all the grains of sand from all the beaches around the world?
There are many more stars than there are grains of sand on earth. See link.
Is it more likely for a garden to contain more sand or more clay?
edi
Is sand a living organism?
it depends !
if it rains a lot which is more likely to flood sand or clay soil?
Clay soil is more likely to flood than sand because clay soil has smaller particles and can hold more water. This means that it can become waterlogged quickly during heavy rain, leading to flooding. Sand, with its larger particles, drains water more easily and is less likely to flood.
Is manufactured sand quartz sand?
Most likely.
What conditions are required for plants and animals to fossilize?
mainly high pressure but you'll also need sediment such as rock or sand to smash it and as the soft parts of the plant decay they leave impressions on the rock
Where are sand dunes likey to be?
Sand dunes are likely to be in a desert
Where in Florida would sand dunes most likely form?

Is the sand dollar an echinoderm?

Is there glass in chewing tobacco?
Perhaps in tiny amounts, but unintentionally. More likely, you would find sand (which is the same chemically as glass).
Which is likely to be carried furthest by a river - a large segment of rock or a grain of sand?
A grain of sand
Which land feature is most likely to be formed by wind erosion?
A sand dune is most likely to be formed by wind erosion. Sand dunes are created when wind deposits sand in a specific area, shaping it into characteristic mounds or ridges.
