(8 Marks)
1. Scientists who study the rocks, minerals, landforms, and the history of the earth can tell what kind of plants and
animals lived on 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 geologic timg. 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 place 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. These are
four principal kinds of fossils: original remains, replaced remains, moulds and casts, and impressions.

sorry mate

Answer 2

Answer:

1. The scientist who study the rocks, minerals, landforms and the history of the earth is known as geologist.

9. crawled may be.

6. Most of the fossils are formed in the waters covering the continental shelves, in warm , shallow, inland seas and in large swamps that covered large parts of land in post geologist time.

5. fossils are the parts of the died animals and birds which is found depth of the ground after many years.
