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.

Which of these provides the BEST evidence that the distribution of Earth's oceans has changed over
Nata [24]

Answer:

Marine fossils found on landmasses.

Explanation:

Earth is an active planet, with tectonic plates that constantly move across the surface and cause changes in the distribution of physical features. The changes, in a most basic manner, can be seen in the creation of new continental masses and new ocean basins, and the destruction of continental masses and ocean basins.

The oceans we see at present have not been around forever, but they formed where plates have started to separate, while in meantime the preexisting oceans have suffered decline and eventual destruction because of it. An excellent example of where there were oceans in the past are the marine fossils. In many parts of the world that now are part of the continents, there is a huge number of marine fossils, even on mountain ranges like the Himalayas and Andes. This proves that in the past, these landmasses were part of an ocean, but because of uplift they have risen up and became part of the landmasses.

Which does not affect the amount of destruction caused by earthquake vibrations?
Soloha48 [4]

<u>ANSWER:</u>

The answer is A. If the structure of a building is built with earthquake-resistant materials, it does not affect the amount of destruction caused by earthquake vibrations.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Especially in the countries that are prone to an earthquake, houses and building should be carefully planned and built in order to withstand an earthquake.
  • The bricks should be held in place with the right mortar. Also, the base of the building should be made stronger rather than the top floors.
  • Steel-framed buildings and good pillared buildings also tend to survive powerful quakes and vibrations.
