Question

If the image shows a model of ocean fossils but the actual fossils were found in the desert, what might one assume about the history of the area where they were found? Its for my sis quiz.


A.That at one time the environment was much colder in Antarctica.


B.That the land of this desert is relatively young geologically speaking.


C.That at one time, the environment of that desert was under an ocean.


D.That at one time in the distant past someone threw away some marine fossils in the desert.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The cold doesn't mean water (A), the age of the desert doesn't mean much in this context (B), that doesn't make any sense (D), but the desert being an ocean in the past does explain where the fossil came from because the organism would have been in the area before death.
