Which scientific discovery supports the claim that Earth has changed over time?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Rocks found on different mountains are different ages.

Explanation:

Radiometric dating of rocks and fossil records gives scientists an idea of the timelines of certain organisms. Fossils of long dead species found in different strata of rocks can be used to speculate the age and changes these organisms have experienced overtime.

Fossils found in the uppermost strata are indicative of organisms that died not quite long whereas fossils found in lower layers are indicate of organisms that died a long while ago. These studies also provide insight into the changes that the earth has experienced overtime.
