There was a lake at this location.
there was a desert at this location
This area has only been a forest
This area has only been under water.

What would you predict if Trilobites are found in dry areas? Considering that these were ocean dwelling creature.
That the area was covered in polar ice caps and then dried up.
That the area was once a desert and then became an ocean.
That area was once covered with an ocean since Trilobites were an ocean dwelling animals.
That the area was a tropical forest and then dried up.
With Pangaea, the same fossil was found in many different locations when Pangaea broke apart. What would you predict if you found the same fossil in different locations?
Fossils of the animals were carried by water to get to another location.
Fossils were carried by wind to get to another location.
The fossils existed in the same location and environment about the same time period
How are marine fossils found on land?
Another animal ate them and then the bones were found on the land.
The ocean were filled with marine creatures and when the water evaporated, the fossils were left behind.
The ocean creatures were carried onto the land and were left there to die.
What would I look at to study a plant species throughout the geologic time scale?
fossil record of plants
Look at the plants that are in the area now.
research online to find everything.

there is a law.
there is an equal and opposite reaction.
there is space around you.
there is a consequence.
A rocket taking off of the ground is an example of ...
Newton's first law of motion
Newton's 2nd law of motion
Newton's third law of motion
When you find multiple fossils in the same location that means...
They lived in the same place at the same time.
They were buried together by the dinosaurs.
They were carried downstream and ended up together after they died.
When a glacier travels over the surface of the earth the area is reshaped. Then the gleacier breaks down large rocks into small rocks it is called.
weathering
erosion
deposition
When a glacier travels over the surface of the earth the area is reshaped. Then the glacier pushes broken rocks ahead of itself
weathering
erosion
deposition
When a glacier travels over the surface of the earth the area is reshaped. Then the glacier leaves broken rocks behind when the front edge melts
weathering
erosion
deposition
what is the process that picks up and moves weather rocks called?
erosion
deposition
landslide
weathering
Living things are called biotic. What weathering thing is happened in the image?
The tree broke the rock apart
The rock helped the tree to grow bigger
The rock grew around the tree
the tree is supporting the rock.
What weathering and erosion is happening in the image?
flowing water is transporting the rock to the ocean
Pieces fo rock is piling up and creating layers.
Wind and rain broke down the larger rock into smaller pieces
wind blew the small pieces of rock from another area to make this happen.
Cave formation is a result from rock being dissolved by groundwater. Why does this happen?
chemical weathering
glacial movement
sediment
abrasion
what happens AFTER a mass extinction?
Even more animals become extinct
rapid speciation
habitats become more unstable
