Please answer this: What is the final step of the following process: - Animals and plants die in soft soil or mud - Sediment builds up over the remains - The remains decompose, leaving only trace amounts - The remaining parts over the years are replaced with mineral

Answer: A fossil is formed

Problem: What is the final step of the following process: - Greenhouse gases are released into the air by human activities - The earth changes energy from the sun into heat - Heat rises from the ground - Greenhouse gas molecules in the atmosphere prevent the heat from going into space - The temperature of the earth increases - The temperature continues to rise and melts the polar ice caps

A: The temperature rises even faster.

Problem: Given the question: What is the final step of the following process: - A hurricane usually starts as an organized thunderstorm activity that stretches at least 100 miles across and maintains its identity for more than 24 hours - Under the right conditions it can develop further and start to spin around a low-pressure center - If it develops it's classified as a 'tropical cyclone' or 'tropical depression' - If the system strengthens and wind speeds rise past 39 mph, the system is dubbed a 'tropical storm'
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The answer is:
If the pressure in the center drops even further and the winds really pick up and forms a clearly defined 'eye' it's a hurricane

input question: What is the final step of the following process: - Place the water in a pot - Cover the pot with a slightly too large cover - Place a larger pot under the first - Heat water to evaporation - Water vapor will collect on the lid - Drip into the second pot as fresh water???
output answer: Salt is left behind in the original pot.

What is the final step of the following process: - A plant dies - The remains of the plant are buried very fast in sediment - The soft parts of the plant decay - The hard parts of the plant are replaced with minerals - The sediment turns into rock - The rock erodes
----
Answer: The fossil appears on the surface of the ground.

Q: What is the final step of the following process: - Owls hunt around their hunting territory away from where they roost during the day - They sit still on a perch, like a stump of branch, and wait for prey - They use their highly sensitive hearing to locate prey that cannot be seen - They use their very keen vision to see prey in the dark - They fly silently, without flapping their wings, in order to surprise the prey - The owl silently glides or drops on its prey, grabbing it with its talons and beak
A:
The owl eats the prey, or carries it back to its perch
