Petrification occurs a. shell, bone, or wood is replaced with dissolved minerals. b. dead organisms are exposed to oxygen and calcium carbonate. c. a cast fossil is later filled with minerals. d. an organism is completely preserved in ice or oil.

A

Explanation:

minerals come in and replace the organic stuff

answer: - few nutrients

high pressure

low temperatures

explanation: 1. few nutrients:   open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.2. high pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.3. ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface. 4. varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.5. low temperatures:   the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°c to an average of 17°c

it should be briana that has it to me
