By looking at the different layers of material that make up a mountain you can determine if a mountain was once under the sea. There are fossil layers within the layers of rock and soil that make up the mountain. If there are layers containing fossils consistent with sea life a scientist could infer that that mountain was once under the sea. This could be the result of higher sea levels in the past or it could be the result of tectonic processes that have formed the mountains by pushing the land high above sea level.

How do scientists know that some places that had once been under water are now deserts?
Scientists use a variety of methods to determine past sea levels, such as analyzing sediments, fossils, and geological formations. By examining these clues, they can infer that areas that were once underwater but are now deserts have changed due to shifts in sea levels over time. This allows them to reconstruct the history of the Earth's changing environments.
Are there sea shells on mountains?
Yes, some mountains were once underwater, so it's possible to find sea shells on mountains. These sea shells are typically found in areas where tectonic activities have pushed the sea floor up to form mountains.
Scientists believe that the chain of underwater mountains beneath the Pacific which stretches away from Hawaii up to Alaska may have once included even more mountains. What happened to those moutain?
Those mountains are thought to have been built up by volcanic activity over millions of years. As the Pacific tectonic plate moved, the older mountains slowly sank back into the Earth's mantle, either through erosion or subduction at tectonic plate boundaries. This process is part of the natural cycle of plate tectonics.
How do scientists know that some places that were once underwater are now deserts?
Archaeologists and scientists use various dating methods, such as carbon dating and relative dating to date specific sites. Layers build up in the ground and are stored throughout the years, and geologists can determine whether the ground was once covered in water by the layers of soil that once rested on the ground.
How do scientist know that all of the continents were once joined together?
Scientists use evidence such as matching geological formations, fossils, and remnants of ancient climates found on separate continents to support the theory of plate tectonics. By analyzing these pieces of evidence, scientists can infer that the continents were once part of a single supercontinent called Pangaea.

Can fish fossils be found on mountains?
not likely but it can happen ... if there is a tsunami
What formed the Appalachian mountains 300 years ago?
Scientists believe the Appalachian Mountain range--which extends from lower Maine to Georgia--were created when the Super Continent, Pangea, split apart millions of years ago. Scientists also believe the Appalachian Mountains once had volcanos.

Submarine mountains that were once active volcanoes are called seamounts.

How do you get Webkinz underwater room?
you have to buy an underwater pet ( a manatee or a goldfish). However, once you have an underwater room, anyone can go in that room. The other pets don't have to be underwater pets. For instance, if you buy a manatee, and you already have a cat, you're cat can go in the underwater room.
