Some sorts of rocks are sedimentary, i.e., they were created by building up sands in the sea. Later, they were pushed up and turned around etc. Often, the (formerly horizontal) layers of sand can be clearly seen and give an indication what was horizontal; and that actually there was a sea somewhen in or near this area.

What are the clues to what ancient climates were like?
There are many clues to what ancient climates were like. One of them include what fossils are found in an area.
What clues can fossils give about the climatic changes in the area around Antarctica?
Well there are fossils of plants and large animals there, indicating that the climate was once warmer, and that the climate there has changed to be what it is like now.
Which area lands itself to the formation of fossils?
The ocean floor
What is the term describing the process of compare fossils in rock sequences in one area with fossils in rock sequences in other areas in order to relate the sequences with one another?
fossil correlation
Where do you find rocks and fossils in Pittsburgh area?
rt 51s from Ambridge bridge about 8 storm drains down towards south heights with in half mile of bridge
How are fossils rocks and the theory of continental drift connected?
Fossils, rocks, and the Theory of continental drift are all connected because when the continents moved apart from each other, the spreading actually moves the rocks and fossils to another area, resulting in rocks that fit perfectly together but were separated and many similar fossils in different areas. hOPE IT HELPS ;)

Can large areas be covered with layers of sedimentary rocks?
Yes, massive areas of Earth are covered by sedimentary rocks. A good geology map will tell you what rocks are in your area.
What does it tell scientists if they find marine life fossils in an area where there is not any water?
It would tell anyone that the rocks which contain the fossils were marine sediments deposited in a sea or ocean below sea level.
What is the term describing the process of compare fossils in rock sequences in one area with fossils in rock sequences in other areas in order to relate the sequences with one another?
fossil correlation
Which is an example of relative dating?
One example of relative dating is studying the layers of rock in a particular area. By analyzing the sequence of rock layers and the fossils within them, scientists can determine the relative ages of the rocks and the fossils they contain.
Paleontologists must compare fossils in rock sequences in one area with fossils in rock sequences in other areas in order to relate the sequences with one another What is the term describing this?
This process is known as biostratigraphy / biostratigraphic correlation.
No single rock sequence records the entire history of life on Earth Paleontologists must compare fossils in rock sequences in one area with fossils in rock sequences in other areas in order to re?
