How Do We Know Evolution Happens? 2. The Fossil Record – Fossils remains ______ are the ____________ of ancient organisms found in layers of rock in the Earth.

How Do We Know Evolution Happens? The layers of rock tell the history of the Earth fossils _____, while the _____ found within life the rock tell a history of ___. The fossils are thought same age to be the ____ as the rock they are found in.

Movement of Earth’s Crust Section 15 -2 Earthquakes and volcanoes cause uplifting of the layers of the Earth, taking the fossils along Sea level Fish die in the ocean and are covered in sediment. Over time and under increasing pressure, the remains becomes fossilized Go to Section: Sedimentary rocks form in horizontal layers. When part of Earth’s crust is compressed, a bend in a rock forms, tilting the rock layers. As the surface erodes due to water, wind, waves, or glaciers, the older rock surface is exposed. Fossils of marine fish found on the mountainsides of southwest Wyoming, which at one time was covered by an inland sea
