Answer:
The bottom layers of the rock could have formed before life occurred.

Explanation:
The bottom layers of the rock could have formed before life occurred because there is no fossil is present. If there is life at that time so the fossils are present at the bottom layer so the absence indicates that is no life present at that time. The bottom layer is older than the upper layer so that's why fossils of bacteria are found in the upper layer of the rock.

Answer:
C. Because bacterial fossils are found only in the upper layers, scientists can conclude that these bacteria evolved towards the end of Precambrian time.

There’s two different types of answers for this question so I just put both of them. Hope it helps : )

What type of reaction is shown below?
natima [27]
An exothermic reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which energy is released to the environment in form of heat or light. Endothermic reaction in the other hand is a chemical reaction where energy is taken from the surroundings and thus the surroundings end up with less energy than they started with. In this case; the above reaction is an Exothermic reaction (heat is being released to the surroundings).
