How can rocks on high mountains have fossils?

The material on the mountains was not always up there. Mountains are generally created by what is called uplift. And places that were under water and then had remains laid down and fossilized can be uplifted through long periods of time to create mountains. The fossils are then found up there in the mountains. The geologic process is fairly well understood and modeled by geologists.


What are two pluses and minuses of being a geologist?

Much would depend on which field of geology is chosen. Generally speaking, on the plus side, geologists are able to experience the outdoors with its natural wonders and associate with like-minded people that share their passion and knowledge. On the minus side, geologists in the field could be exposed to dangers such as volcanic eruptions, rock falls, rough terrain, tool mishaps, and even underwater environments. Geologists can also spend long hours compiling and sorting retrieved data from observations. Being a geologist may also necessitate some traveling, with time spent away from home.
