Which of the following statements regarding the fossil record is FALSE? Group of answer choices The fossil record does not contain any fossil remains of plants, only animals Not every minute of Earth’s history is recorded in the rock record Paleontologists have not yet found all the fossils that are in the rocks Not all organisms have a high preservation potential

The statement, that is, the fossil record does not contain any fossil remains of plants, only animals is false.

Explanation:

Any trace of past life is termed as the fossil. It can be an organism's remains like shells, plants, bones, or teeth. Any activity of an organism like burrows, footprints, and feces can be known as a fossil record. Five different ways by which the formation of a fossil takes place are natural casts, permineralization, trace fossils, amber preserved, and preserved remains.  

The formation of a fossil distinctly takes place, however, the majority of them formed when an animal or plant dies in a watery environment and gets buried underneath the silt and mud. In the process, the soft tissues quickly get decompose and leave behind the shells or hard bones. With time accumulation of sediments takes place over the top and solidifies into a rock.  

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
