petrified trees are found upside down in the geological column becasue they are specail trees only found in indego austrail they grow in very shallow water just enough so that there limbs ar in the water THEY GROW UPSIDE DOWN BECAUSE THE STEM OF THE TREE IS BACKWARDS FROM THE ROOT SO THAT CAUSES THEM TO GROW UPSIDE DOWN

What else can I help you with?
Does the fact that petrified trees have been found to break through many layers of the geological column disprove that said column is a valid tool to use for accurately dating fossils or objects?
No. It only means that it is difficult to use that geological column to date that particular fossil which has managed to survive subsequent erosion of successive layers. Trees are generally quite long and because of this they may often be stretched through several layers.
How did the petrified forest get its name?
It is named for the large collection of petrified wood found in the area.
Do rattlesnakes live in the Petrified Forest?
Yes, rattlesnakes are found in the Petrified Forest of Arizona.
Where is the petrified forest national park found?
Petrified Forest National Park is found in northeastern Arizona.
What is petrified fossil?
Petrified fossil is an organism that has been converted into stone. Silica, iron and copper minerals can be commonly found in petrified fossils.
Why is the geological column considered evidence for evolution?
The geological column shows the sequence of rock layers with older rocks at the bottom and younger rocks on top. Fossils found in these layers show a progression of life forms over time, providing evidence for the evolution of species. By studying the geological column, scientists can trace the development of life on Earth and how species have changed and diversified over millions of years.
What unique geological features can be found in the landscape of the tree stump mountains?
The landscape of the tree stump mountains features unique geological formations such as exposed tree stumps, petrified wood, and fossilized remains of ancient trees. These features provide a glimpse into the area's history and showcase the effects of erosion and geological processes over time.
Where in the world is the arrangement of rock layers supposedly charting the course of earth's history found?
The first problem with the geological column is that it indicates occurs nowhere in the world.
Why his the geological column not really evidence for evolution?
The geological column is an abstract, and ideal. What it really signifies is the mechanism of superposition, the fact that through geological times, newer layers are formed on top of older layers. The geological column can be used as a guide for reconstructing the geological history of a formation, but one should take care: geological processes, like all of nature, are messy, and geological strate can be inverted or skewed, so that newer strata may be beside or even below older strata. The inferred age of a geological stratum may be used to assist in dating fossils, and thereby aid in constructing histories for particular lineages. But in itself, this geological notion has little to do with biological evolution.
What type of wood is most commonly found to be petrified?
Australlia
Have you ever seen a petrified bees nest?
yes,I found one.
How do you use the word petrified in a sentence?
(The word can mean turned to stone, or metaphorically, shocked into immobility.)The petrified remains of sea animals are found in fossil.When the ghost suddenly appeared, he was petrified.
