Answer:

The Earth is an oblate spheroid, bulging out slightly at the poles

Explanation:

  • Earth's surface structure is in the form of geoid of three-dimensional structure. As the earth's topographic features are associated with landform and water bodies.
  • Hence earth is not a complete sphere nor a perfect sphere its a form of oval-shaped epllicics and thus has an ellipsoid revolution and a tilt around the sun on its axis.
  • The bulge at the equator is a product of the spinning of the earth and modern geodesy takes this ellipsoidal as a spheroid.

Pieces and full petrified logs in a barren area with mountains in the background.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The area was once a forest.

The area was uplifted.

The area was buried in sediment.

The area was probably covered by water.

Petrification of a dead plant or animal organisms occurs when rock mineral displaces the organic elements in the structure of the biotic matter or these minerals seep in between the spaces and pores within the dead plant or organism and become part of the material.

Explanation:

Petrification occurs under high pressure. This is why this process occurs in the crust after layers of sediments create enough pressure on the dead organic matter buried in with the sediments. This phenomenon commonly begins on the ocean floor where dead marine life sinks to the bottom and is buried by sediments over many years.  

Occasionally, tectonic plate forces uplift these petrified fossils from deep in the crust exposing them on the surface like in this case.
