1 Removing heat energy, or cooling, decreases the motion of molecules. 2  If heat is added to a solid, the molecules can move fast enough to change from a solid to a liquid. ( 3 Melting). 4  If heat is added to a liquid, the molecules can move fast enough to change from a liquid to a gas.
Fossils usually only form in sedimentary rock. Sediments have to accumulate over the organism in order to preserve it. This could be a rapid burial, such as a volcanic eruption or mudslide, it could be sap from a tree oozing over an insect, or simply a slow sediment accumulation on the bottom of a lake.
Fossil of shell. Fossils are very common in sedimentary rocks, such as limestone, but rare in metamorphic rocks, such as marble. Fossils are never found in igneous rocks, such as granite. Sediment layers settle over the dead animals and plants that then turn into fossils.ther sediments form from the skeletons of animals, and from plants and other living things. Eventually, these sediments get buried and are squashed together to form sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks make up around 75 per cent of the rocks on the Earthâs surface. 1  Rock cycle.
