Fossils, which can be impressions in sediments or preserved remains, provide key evidence for the evolution of life. They reveal the change and development of species over geological eras, with some organisms preserved completely in ice or amber.

What are fossils primarily known to preserve?

• Future species

• Traces of ancient life forms

• Modern plant life

• Current weather patterns

Which of the following is NOT a form that fossils can take?

• Digital records

• Mineralized remains of bones

• Complete organisms in ice

• Impressions in sediments

How can complete organisms be preserved as fossils?

• In air

• In soil

• In ice or amber

• In water

What does the fossil record primarily provide evidence for?

• The formation of mountains

• The evolution of life

• The history of human civilization

• The extinction of dinosaurs

Why is the fossil record important in understanding species development?

• It shows the change and development of species over time

• It predicts future species

• It records daily weather changes

• It maps the ocean currents
