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.

Most people live near the Ganges River system, as the river provides water for irrigation for farming and is a major religious landmark.
The answer is A. in the Ganges River system.
Answer:
The correct option is: 2,250,000 kg
Explanation:
Given
: Area A = 1 ha (Hectare) = 10,000 m²
Bulk density = 1.5 Mg/m³ = 1.5 × 1000 kg/m³ = 1500 kg/m³ (∵ 1 Mg=1000 kg)
Depth of soil = 15 cm = 0.15 m (∵ 1 m = 100 cm)
Volume can be calculated by:
Volume = area × Depth = 10,000 m² × 0.15 m = 1500 m³
As we know, density = mass/ volume
Therefore, <u>Mass of soil</u> = Bulk density × volume = 1500 kg/m³ × 1500 m³ = 2,250,000 kg
