Question

A model of fossils formed on land, on the shore, and in water was set up in Ms. Bill’s classroom. One of the students commented that the model gave her the wrong idea about the types of fossils found in each location. Why did the student make that comment?A) You have no idea where the pollen grains come from.B) The model shows clam shells as fossils more than once.C) The model is very limited and shows only a few of the many types of fossils.D) The model does not provide information about the type of rock in which fossils form.

Answer 1

Answer:

d.- The model does not provide information about the type of rock in which fossils form.

Explanation:

The fossils can be located in different parts like on land, shore and water. But, they were formed at different time, that means, they live in different ages, that is the reason why the model need to include the type of rock. Remember fossil form at different ages and with the pass of time different layers of rock formed.

Hope this info is useful.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option D. he model does not provide information about the type of rock in which fossils form.

Explanation:

Fossil are formed in different rock types. These are formed in the different rock types. The formation fossils involves two things:

1. temperature

2. pressure

Great heat and pressure are involved in the formation of these fossils. These are thought to be formed about 150 billion years ago. These were formed into  different types mainly into corals, shale, and in other cases fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gases.

The distribution of fossil fuels clearly indicate the rock type they are formed in. For instance, oil is formed in stratified (layered) rocks.

Hence option D is correct.
