Sagot :

What are fossils?

Fossils are the remains or impression of plants or animal embedded in rock. They are the remains of dead animals and plants that once lived on this earth in the remote past. Fossils are formed when dead organisms are not completely decomposed.

2. Fossil record

The fossil records are referred to as the totality of fossils. It helps paleontologists, archaeologists, and geologists place important events and species in the appropriate geologic era. Fossil records can be used to show that organisms changed to meet new conditions

3. The grand staircase

The Grand Staircase is referred to as a sequence of sedimentary rock layers that stretch south for 100 miles from Bryce Canyon National Park through Zion National Park and into the Grand Canyon.

The different environmental conditions the Grand Staircase exposed to over this +1 Billion year is heat

4. Based on the Law of Superposition which states that in undisturbed rock sequences the bottom layers are older than the top layers.
