Fossils are great indicators of past climate. For example, coral reefs today form only in shallow, warm water between approximately 30 degrees North and 30 degrees South latitudes. When a rock containing fossil coral is found, it can be assumed that the particular area was once an area of shallow warm water.

Which of the following fossil discoveries best demonstrates a change in the Earth's climate?
Scientists find a large amount of fossils of tropical plants and animals in a desert.
What is Alfred wegener's evidence on climate?
Alfred Wegener's evidence for his theory of continental drift included similarities in the shapes of the coastlines of continents, the distribution of fossils across continents, and the matching geological features on different continents. These provided support for the idea that the continents were once connected and have moved over time, influencing climate patterns.
How do tornadoes affect climate change?
Tornadoes themselves are not directly caused by climate change, but there is evidence that a warming climate could lead to changes in atmospheric conditions that may affect tornado frequency or intensity. However, the relationship between tornadoes and climate change is complex, and more research is needed to fully understand the connection.
What can affect the climate of an area?
Factors such as latitude, proximity to bodies of water, altitude, and prevailing wind patterns can all affect the climate of an area. Human activities, such as deforestation and urbanization, can also contribute to changes in climate.
How do fossils help geologists?
Geologists use fossils to interpret past environments, age rock layers, and understand the history of life on Earth. Fossils can provide information about the evolution of species, past climate conditions, and even the movement of continents over time. By studying fossils, geologists can reconstruct the Earth's history and better understand geological processes.
What can fossils tell us about the future?
Fossils can tell us the climate and change in the future....
How does the environment affect the formation of fossils?
the environment can rain a lot and fossils can not become fossils when theres a lot of water around
Why does Antarctica not have any fossils today?

What is the Earth's climate related to fossils?
That's backwards - the history of climate determines the possibility of fossil production.

Why are so many fossils found in the badlands?
because of climate change. Climate change killed the animals that lived there
Does not affect climate in a given area?
Longitudes do not affect the climate of an area but instead they cause differences in time. Latitudes on the other hand affect climate.
How does climate affect the climate in an area?

How did fossil affect what people thought about creature on Earth?
Fossils affect how people think about ancient creatures of Earth. The fossils show animals that people did not previously know existed.
