If the fossil of an organism is found in the deeper layers of earth, then we can predict that __________.The extinction of organisms has occurred recentlyThe extinction of organisms has occurred years agoThe fossil position in the layers of earth is not related to its time of extinctionTime of extinction cannot be determined

Through time, Earth underwent a series of cataclysmic events and resulting extinctions. This describes why the fossils found in each geologic layer are different species. This theory is known as ____Group of answer choices

What could scientists infer if they found the same type of fossil in different locations? aThe locations used to be connected or were close by in the past bThe area used to be covered by water cThere was a mass extinction event dThe organism lived on Earth 2.3 million years ago

The success or failure of a particular species through time impossible to predict because LO.15 A- the geologic record contains an incomplete history of species B- the appearance and disappearance of food sources C- mass extinction involves millions of species D- the factors that drive species to extinction are highly complex

The principle of superposition explains the idea that ______ layers of rock, along with the fossils they contain, are older than the layers ______ them.Multiple choice question.lower; belowdarker; lighter thanhigher; belowlower; above

A geologist recorded fossil data for three different organisms found in a rock layer: ​​Fossil X: existed 510 to 250 million years ago, is found in very few locations, and has unique fossil features.Fossil Y: existed 100 to 65 million years ago, is found in many different locations, and has unique fossil features.Fossil Z: existed 400 million years ago to present day, is found in many different locations, and has similar features to other fossils.Part AWhich statement best explains which fossil the geologist should use to compare the rock layer to other layers and estimate when the layers were deposited?
