• Answer the following questions briefly:
(i) Who are called geologist ?
(ii) Why are many fossils found in sedimentary rock layers ?
(iii) What enables the scientists to get information about plants and animals that
lived long time ago ?
(iv) Where are most fossils formed ?
(v) What are the four principal kinds of fossils ?
(vi) Find the word which means ‘not deep' (para-1)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

i) Scientists who study the rocks, minerals, landforms, and the history of the earth can tell what kind of plants and animals lived on the earth a long time ago. These scientists are called geologists.

ii) Sedimentary rocks can contain fossils because, unlike most igneous and metamorphic rocks, they form at temperatures and pressures that do not destroy fossil remains.

iii) the history of the earth can tell

what kind of plants and animals lived on the earth a long time ago. These scientists are called geologists

IV) Most fossils are formed in the waters covering the continental shelves, in warmı, shallow, iniand seas, and in large swamps that covered large parts of the land in post geologic time

v) There are four principal kinds of

fossils: original remains, replaced remains, moulds and casts, and impressions

Answer 2

Answer:

Scientists who study the rocks, minerals, land forms, and the history of the earth can tell what kind

of plants and animals lived on the earth a long time ago. These scientists are called geologists.

One way that they are able to do this is by the study of fossils. Fossils may be the actual remains

as they walked or crawled.

Most fossils are formed in the waters covering the continental shelves, in warm shallow, inland

seas, and in large swamps that covered large parts of the land in post geological time. When the

animals of these waters die, their remains are deposited on the floor of the water body where the

fleshy part of the animal decays. The skeletal portion of the body is partially replaced by minerals

and other sediments. If this takes in just the right manner, a fossil is formed. Since rock sediments

are involved in the formation of fossils, it is not surprising that one finds many fossils in

sedimentary rock layers. Plant fossils are found in the areas that were once swamps. There are

four principal kinds of fossils: original remains, replaced remains, moulds and casts, and

impressions.
