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.

Answer:
Scientists are able to understand Earth's interior by studying seismic waves.
Seismic waves travel at different speeds when they pass through different types of material, so by studying seismograms, scientists can learn a lot about Earth's internal structure.
Answer:
Erosion breaks existing rocks and turns them into sediments. The sediments can be formed into rocks by the chemical reactions of dissolved seashells ( Calcium Carbonate.) This reaction can form sediments into rocks very quickly like the formation of concrete ( same chemical reaction). Erosion only happens on the earth's surface.
As erosion only happens on the earth's surface, sedimentary rocks are only formed on the earth's surface.
In other words:
Sedimentary rocks only found on or close to Earth's surface because sedimentary rocks are made of materials deposited in layers at the Earth's surface.
