The fossils formed after heat and pressure changed the type of rock in the rock layer.

The fossils are composed of the same material as the organisms from which they formed.

The Sun heats the atmosphere of Earth unevenly. Which of the following is the most likely result of this uneven heating?

Convection in the atmosphere causes a change in air density, resulting in winds.

Radiation from the Sun will reflect through the atmosphere back into space resulting in cooler evenings.

Radiation from the Sun will cause atmospheric moisture to collect over mountain ranges resulting in snowfall.
