Question

HELP !!

5. If you were a paleontologist who studies fossils of very ancient life forms, where would be the best place to look for very old fossils: on land or in the oceans?

6. Imagine that Earth’s magnetic field was fixed in place and the polarity didn’t reverse. What effect would this have on our observations of seafloor basalts?

7. Look at a map of the Atlantic seafloor with magnetic polarity stripes and recreate the history of the Atlantic Ocean basin.

Answer 1

5. I would study the land, because you can see if before there was an ocean that dried up, or look for fossils there, it would be much easier than in the ocean (my opnion)

The best answer would be the lands. It is where you can easily dig up and locate old fossils rather in in oceans which needs much effort to do. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.
