An archaeologist made the following diagram of a dig site. What can be said about the pottery as compared to the skull found in the site?

The rock layer with the pottery is more recent than the rock layer with the skull.

The rock layer with the skull is more recent than the rock layer with the pottery.

The rock layer with the skull is approximately the same age as the rock layer with the pottery.

The rock layer with the skull has an absolute date of 17,000 years.

Which statement is true about the fossil record?

It provides evidence for history of life on Earth

It is a record of all living things

It shows how our climate has remained the same over time

It does not support the theory of evolution

How are fossils created?

Traces of organisms get turned into stone.

Dead organisms are quickly buried for millions of years.

What must be present for Fossil Fuels to form?

Dead Organisms, Layers of Sediment, and Heat & Pressure over time

Dead Organisms and Layers of Sediment

Bones, Layers of Sediment, and Heat & Pressure over time

Fossil Fuels formed over long periods of time after particles in water settled to the sea floor and formed marine mud. What kinds of particles needed to be present in the marine mud in order for fossil fuels to form.

Mostly sand and a few small bits of wood

Mostly lava and a few sedimentary rocks

A student creates a model of the formation of fossil fuels by first placing a layer of leaves, representing organic matter, in the bottom of a cup. What step will come next in the model?

adding sand on top of the leaves to model burial in sediments

Pouring water over the leaves to model washing away by rivers

Burning the leaves to model the decay of organic matter

Putting the leaves in the freezer to model conditions on top of mountains

What feature is the same in the formation of many sedimentary rocks and all fossil fuels? Many sedimentary rocks and all fossil fuels -

require material to be buried and exposed to heat and pressure

are made out of organic material that stores the sun's energy

form where there are frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity

are produced high in the mountains where temperatures are low

Sedimentary rocks form when broken bits of other rock are deposited and then -

buried and squeezed and cemented together

melted by the heat of the Earth's core

completely dissolved in the salt water of the ocean

used by humans as a natural resource

In order for a fossil to form, which of the following events must happen FIRST?

Slowly, minerals in the water replace the bone.

The bone is no longer a bone, but a rock copy.
