3 Why are ancient volcanic ash deposits important to geologists? a. They form resistant rock layers containing fossils. b. They are easily dated using carbon-14. c. They serve as good geological time makers. d. They indicate major areas where earthquakes occurred.
4 Why are ancient volcanic ash deposits important to geologists? a. They form resistant rock layers containing fossils. b. They are easily dated using carbon-14. c. They serve as good geological time makers. d. They indicate major areas where earthquakes occurred.
5 For which segment of the Earth's geologic history are fossils rarely found? a. Mesozoic b. Cenozoic c. Paleozoic d. Precambrian
6 For which segment of the Earth's geologic history are fossils rarely found? a. Mesozoic b. Cenozoic c. Paleozoic d. Precambrian
7 Describe what the following indicate about the geological history of an area: 1. Finding marine fossils at high altitudes. 2. The presence of fossil coral
8 1. Finding marine fossils at high altitudes. This indicates uplift because marine fossils would form in the sediments at the bottom of an ocean or large body of water. So the land used to be at the bottom of an ocean or large body of water. 2. The presence of fossil coral This indicates the land used to be a warm shallow sea as this is where corals live.
