Question

A sedimentary rock containing a fern fossil was found. What does this tell about the area at the time the rock was formed

Answer 1

Answer:

D) The area was on land.

Explanation:

We can tell that this is the answer because of the process of elimination.

- It is not A or C, because there is not enough information given to us to determine whether the area was hot or cold.

- It is not B, because ferns do not grow in the ocean. (Unless it a specific type of water fern that have not heard about... but this is highly unlikely, so don't worry.)

- This leaves us with: D) The area was on land. This is the correct answer because ferns do grow on land, and a sedimetary rock containing a fern fossil is much more likely to be found on land than on the ocean floor.

Hope I could help!
