The lithosphere,which is the rigid outermost shell of the planet(the crust,and upper mantle),is broken into tectonic plates.The earth's lithosphere is composed of seven or eight major plates(depending on how they are defined)and many minor plates.In this way,the total surface of the lithosphere remain,the same.

The fossil record documents the existence, diversity, extinction, and change of many life forms throughout the history of life o
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Answered below.

Explanation:

The fossil records are beneficial in giving us. wide range of knowledge about fossils but sometimes these records are flawed, in that they are incomplete or misleading.

Many of the fossil records available are incomplete because some animals tend to decay within a short period of time due to their soft tissue. Also some are destroyed due to the movement of tectonic plates over time.

Another flaw scientists encounter is that there are no fossils which illustrate or represent the orderly transition from one organism to another. Fossils generally do not support the Darwinian theory of evolution as no evidence is found of ordered, sequential transition from simple to complex life forms as postulated.

These flaws are significant because they influence our knowledge and understanding of life forms and evolution.

Explanation:

It would later turn to what is termed as germline mutation which are mutations passed from parent to offspring, as time progresses the trait would be more and increases the chance of being transferred to their offspring
