Question

Help please!

If fossils were burried deep below the surface how is it possible that we are able to find them today?

Fossils are found because of geologic processes such as plate tectonics pushing land masses together and then through weathering and erosion over time fossils become exposed.


We find them because we just keep digging deeper into the Earth's crust and we are lucky to come across fossils deep down.

Fossils are easily found because scientists use X-ray machines to cover land and that helps them know where to begin digging.

Fossils are found because they were never buried deep under layers of sedimentary rocks, fossils have always existed very close to the Earth's surface.

Answer 1

I believe it is the first one.

Step-by-step explanation:

I would've said the last one but it does not describe how fossils are exposed to the surface and nor are fossils necessarily that CLOSE to the surface. Some fossils are really deep, so the last one is too generalized to be true. I think it is the first one because, like I said, this answer specifies how fossils are exposed through the weathering and erosion of topical elements to over time allow fossils to come to the surface for geologists to discover. Hope that helps :)
