  • Card 8 / 28:
    Scientists have discovered the bodies of humans and other living things buried in bogs for hundreds of years, but not yet decomposed. Suggest a possible biological explanation for why such bodies are so well-preserved.

    Bogs are low in oxygen and high in organic acids. The low oxygen content and the low pH both slow the rate of decomposition.
