How does the fossil record help scientists understand the process of evolution?

Biology
1 answer:
artcher [175]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Fossil records help provide clues to the history of Earth's organisms. They've have given scientists clues needed to determine a present day organism's ancestry by comparing them with fossils. Fossil records also show that life has evolved from simple to complex; for example, fossils deeper into the ground (older ones) are much more simple than the ones at the top (newer ones), again supporting the idea of evolution. Fossils additionally show us how behaviors have evolved, how long individuals lived, and how features evolved over time.

antiseptic1488 [7]

Complete question:

Geologists are conducting a study on many layers of different types of rock in the Grand Canyon. These geologists will likely find ancient fossils that reveal the history of life near the Grand Canyon in

  • igneous rock layers
  • layers of sedimentary rock
  • layers of volcanic rock.
  • metamorphic rock layers

Answer:

layers of sedimentary rock

Explanation:

Most rocks in the Grand Canyon are sedimentary rocks, formed while <em>sediments of sand and mud got deposited in thick layers and got compacted through the pass of time until becoming a rock</em>. Sedimentary rocks have been chronologically accumulating for years, reflecting the geological formation known as superposition. According to this sedimentary deposition, we can distinguish the older rocks located in the deepest areas from the younger rocks in more superficial layers.

As the sedimentary layers were deposited chronologically, they reflect the canyon history by keeping in each layer some of the forms of life that used to inhabit this area in the past. Such is the example of the superficial limestone stratum where many marine animal fossils are found, like clams, fish, and corals.
