Answer: True

Explanation:

The index fossil are the fossils that are of animals and plants that remained preserved in the rock of the earth. It describes the particular span of the geological time or the environment. An index fossil can be easily recognized, is widely distributed and abundant.

The index fossil is the basis for defining the boundaries of the geological time scale with the correlation of the strata.

Those organisms which exhibited the short vertical range that is the life span on earth and the wide lateral range that is geographic distribution can be included as index fossil.

These fossils are indicative of the environment in which the organism used to live.

VMariaS [17]

Isostatic rebound occurs when a load is imposed on or removed from the lithosphere. The surface tends to rise or sink as the lithosphere rises or sinks in the asthenosphere. Loads may consist of large lakes, oceans (on continental shelves during eustatic sea level rise), ice, sediment, thrust sheets, and volcanoes.

Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.
