Decomposition
Language: German (Deutsch)
Casper's Law states that if all other factors are equal, a body with free access to air will decompose twice as fast than if immersed in water. A body immersed in water will decompose four times faster than if laid in earth. Cold temperatures decrease decomposition. Warm temperatures increase decomposition. We become earth, We become water, We become air.
