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.


Would gneiss be more likely to form at shallow depths or at great depths where mountains are being pushed up and why?

Gneiss is more likely to form at great depths where mountains are being pushed up. This is because gneiss forms through the process of high-grade metamorphism, which requires high pressures and temperatures found at greater depths in the Earth's crust. As mountains are pushed up, rocks are brought to these depths and subjected to the conditions needed for gneiss formation.
