Geologists observe
clues, like fossils and
rocks, and use ideas
about science they
already know to make
inferences about what
might have happened in
a place in the past.

Key Concept

A fossil forms when an organism dies and is
covered with sediment that turns into rock.

Key Concept

A sedimentary rock layer forms when sediment
sinks and builds up in water, compacts under
more sediment, and cements over time.

Different sediments build up in different
environments. Therefore, different kinds of
sedimentary rock form in different environments.
