The fossil range can simply be defined as the time period in which an organism has existed, thus left fossil traces of its existence. The fossil range can be very short, medium, or long, thus usually there are limitations before certain type of organism evolves into another species, thus eliminating the ancestral organism from the fossil records. On the other hand, there are organisms that have incredibly big fossil ranges of several hundred million years, and since they emerged, they have remained almost unchanged. Those kind of fossil ranges are very rare though, and they don't represent the general picture. Most of the fossil ranges are between several thousand years and several million years, as that is usually how much a species exists, ending its reign, be it because of competition, changes in the environment, or big natural disaster.
It is called surface currents.
The country farthest east in Southeast Asia is the Philippines.
Fossils are the remains of plants and animals that have been preserved for millennia in stones under the Earth's surface. They contain the long chapters of the history of our Earth. Fossils tell us what the earth looked like many millions of years ago, what kind of animals and plants lived on its surface and how it was changing. Fossils show us a history of over a billion years old.
From the fossil from a dry, mountainous area we can conclude that the area was once underwater and over time the soil has risen as result of continental drift and uplift. So, a mountain was once the bottom of a prehistoric ocean or sea.
