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.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

volcanoes and earthquakes is the top tectonic plate affects that can cause extinction

Explanation:

Volcanoes: because of a volcanoes lava intense heat it could kill species. Lava is the hottest natural substance there is on earth. Also the fumes and gases that come from volcanoes are deadly and can kill species that inhale it even if the volcano is miles away.

Earthquakes: the highest stage of a earthquake can be devastating cracking open grounds and destroying everything in its path which also means that it can destroy certain species homes (trees, underground, mountains) which can kill them. Also they can cause land slides which can wipe out a species instantly if strong enough. Even the after affect can causes species to go extinct because if they can't find shelter or food then they could eventually die of starvation or dehydration.
