How does fossils show evidence of the changing surface and climate on the earth?

Because there were fossils of tropical plants in Antarctica. This means that Antarctica must have once been further South. And that itself proves that continents move. They also found coal in places like Antarctica, and coal only forms in tropical places.

How do fossils provide evidence for moving plates?
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.
Where are the earliest fossils found?
In undisturbed strata, the oldest fossils will be the deepest from the surface.
How do greenhouse gas emissions impact change?
Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth. This extra heat is causing global warming, and is changing the climate.
A huge crack in the Earth's surface where anthropologists find fossils to study?
The Great Rift Valley
How do animals get stuck in amber?
fossils They land on a tree and get stuck in sap on the surface. Amber is petrified tree sap.

How are fossils fuels related to climate change?
Fossil fuels are bad cause they release CO2CLIMATE Change Surface mining scars the land
How human activities change the surface of the Earth?
Human activities change the surface of the Earth through climate change, and changing soil composition through application of fertilizers.
Where are the earliest fossils found?
In undisturbed strata, the oldest fossils will be the deepest from the surface.
How does erosion help in bringing fossils to the earths surface?
erosion helps bring fossils to earths surface by when a animal dies it turns into a fossil
Are fossils on found in rock?
Yes... fossils are found in rocks, but rocks deep within the surface.
What type of evidence acts as a record of changes in organisms over time and indicates major changes in earths surface and climate?
the composition of ice cores
Explain how a fossil fish can be found in 84-million-year-old rocks in Kansas. Make sure to include details about Earth’s changing surface and how fossils form that you learned from your research?

What information do fossils provide about the history of life?
Fossils can help us learn about what happened in the past, what is currently happening in the present, and what will happen in the future. The Earth is always changing, nothing on its surface is truly permanent. Rocks that are now on top of a mountain may have been at the bottom of a sea once. We can dig up fossils anywhere! From the fossil, we can determine what organisms were living, the habitat, the climate, and compare with other fossils to see the many changes and differences. Fossils are very beneficial to our Earth's history. :D
What is the effect of climate which causes a change in earth surface?
Erosion of surface features.
Some scientists theorize that continental movements may cause climate changes by?
Ok, so the movement of the continents changed location of land and sea, therefore changing the wind patterns and ocean currents, slowly changing climate globally. Also, as the continents continue to move, climates will also continue to change.
