How can water erosion uncover fossils?
The rain water washes away the dirt that is covering the fossil.
What does the sediment the is closer to mid ocean ridge compare to sediment that is farther away?
The closer the sediment is to the mid-ocean ridge, the younger it is. The oldest bedrock is found the farthest away from it.
What type of rock can wear away to form sediment?
Any rock can wear away to form sediment; be it sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous.
What does erosion carry away?
Erosion carries away sediment.
What carries the sediment away?
Wind, water, glaciers, and gravity are capable or transporting sediment.
How does sediment that is closer to a mid-ocean ridge compare to sediment that is farther away?
it is older

What is ocean stacks?
An ocean stack is a piece of the mainland that extends out into the coast and is surrounded on 3 sides by water. It is pounded by the ocean waves which weather away the weaker pieces of sediment and rock forming it into a jagged piece of rock that juts up from the ocean. Eventually the ocean currents will cause the remaining rock and sediment away.
How does sediment that is closer to a mid ocean ridge compare to sediment that is father away?
It's thinner
