A flood is an inundation of the land by water.

There are three types of flooding. The first type is pluvial. Pluvial is excessive or extreme precipitation, that covers the land. The second type is called fluvial. Fluvial is excessive river or stream flow where a river or stream spills outside its banks onto its adjacent lands. The third type is costal flooding. This is caused by the lunar cycle where extremely high tides inundate the land next to the cost.

Charra [1.4K]

The statement "Mass extinctions have occurred several times on Earth" explains the indication of the fossil record.

<h3>Indication of Fossil fuels:</h3>

Paleontologists are fascinated by the evolution and extinction of fossil species throughout geologic history. To do so, they look at all the fossils that have been preserved in sedimentary rocks.

The fossil record is what we call it. Paleontologists have been collecting fossils from sedimentary rock layers all over the world for over two centuries.

Their goal is to figure out how species have evolved over geologic time. It can be used as a geologic timescale once the succession is established.

Then, if a specific fossil is discovered in a rock, you can determine where it belongs on the geologic timescale.

Therefore, the correct option is the third sentence.
