What do you know about a rock layer found on a mountain if you find a seashell fossil?

If you find a seashell fossil in a rock layer on a mountain, than you know that the rock layer was formed at a time when that area was submerged under water. This is because the seashell lived and died underwater, so it would have been fossilized there as the rock layer formed. Millions of years later, the water drained away, and forces within the Earth's crust pushed the rock layer and the layers above it upward, forming mountains. Of course, the rock layer would have been buried deep within the Earth by that point, but as the mountains formed, weathering and erosion would have worn away the newer layers, exposing the ancient rock layer with the seashell.


What is the layer of solid rock found under the soil?

The layer of solid rock found under the soil is called bedrock. Bedrock is composed of consolidated rock that forms the base of the Earth's crust and provides a strong foundation for the layers above it.


Where is the water table located 1 at the top of the zone saturation 2 under the zone of saturation 3 in the layer of bedrock 4 below the layer of bedrock?

The water table is located at the top of the zone of saturation, where soil and rock are completely saturated with water. It is not generally found under the zone of saturation. The water table is typically above the layer of bedrock. It is usually located above the layer of bedrock, not below it.


Why are fossil fuels found buried in rock?

Fossil fuels are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that have been buried and subjected to high pressure and temperature over millions of years. This process results in the transformation of organic matter into fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, which are then trapped in rock formations underground.
