Are older fossils found in higher layers of earth or lower layers?
lower0000
What does relative dating mean in biology?
Scientists can compare the ages of the fossils in one layer of the earth and then compare thoes to fossils in another layer of the earth. The one that is deeper is most likely to be older:)
Why are the deeper layers of earth difficult to study?
Because of the pressure and the temperature of the earth.
Fossils in newer layers of the earth tend to resemble current?
organisms
Fossils in newers layers of earth tend to resemble current?
Organisms.Fossils found in newer layers of Earth's crust tend to be similar to present-day organisms.
How geologist study the earth?
The physics and the formation of the Earth.
Are fossils found in the core of the earth?
No. Fossils only exist in the crust. Any fossil subjected to the heat and pressure any deeper than the crust would be destroyed.
What happens to the temperature of the rocks as layers go deeper into the Earth?
it gets hotter and the presure get harder
If the layers of rock sink to the Earth's mantle as a result of the sliding plates what will the fossils most likely experience?
they will be destroyed.
What is a record fossil?
A fossil record is a historical sequence of life indicated by fossils found in layers of Earth's crust.
How does density change between the different layers of earth?
The deeper you get into the earth, the more weight you have above you. This results in pressure that increases the density of the material below.
How do geologists use the column?
Geologists use the geologic column to classify layers of rocks and fossils that make up the Earth's crust.
