Question

Fossils of shells and fish found high above sea level in a mountain range might indicate that:

A. the land was once covered by ocean.

B. the area was once located closer to the poles.

C. a river once connected the area to a larger body of water.

D. the fossils were planted by scientists.

Answer 1

A. The land was once covered by ocean.

Step-by-step explanation:

presently what Sea bottoms were formerly found on mountaintops. Because of earthquakes, volcanoes, wind, shifting temperatures, and erosion, the Earth is continually changing. Even the tiniest disruption will have a significant impact over tens and hundreds of millions of years.

The Himalayas were formerly the sea floor in this example. India's landmass finally collided with Asia's southern shore as it sped north at a geological rate of around half a year. The seabed was lifted along the leading (north) edge as it persisted in pushing, ultimately lifting it out of the ocean and even out of the breathing atmosphere! India's growth has slowed but not stopped, while the Himalayas continue to rise.
