Fossil is found in a stream and looks similar to animals in the ocean today, what could be true
Animals that live in streams today lived in oceans long ago
The fossil washed upstream from the ocean
The stream will become part of the ocean in the future.
The area of woods and stream was an ocean long ago

Found a snail fossil in the desert how could it be determined what environment the snail lived?
Look at plants & animals living in the desert today
Counting the # of snail fossils found all over the world.
Looking for fossils in different layers of rock
Look at the plant & animals fossils found in the same layer

How can scientists tell when the reversals of the magnetic field occurred?
measuring the strenght of the mag. field recorded in O crust
measuring amounts of minerals alighed to magnetic feild
measuring the thickness of different bands of oceanic crust
measuring distance between midocean ridge & ocean floor band
11
Which statement explains why fewer waves are recorded at some stations?
Some waves are blocked by water on the Earth's surface
Weather near the stations can prevent waves recordings
Part of Earth's interior bent some of the waves
Different materials in Earth reflect some of the waves

an ocean trench and a mountain range
a ridge and rift valley
a rift valley and ocean trench
a trench and mid ocean ridge
13

Layers that have been flipped are oldest from bottom to top
A fold is older than the oldest rock layer it contains
Faults are younger than the youngest rock they cut through
Intrusive rock is older then the surrounding rock layers
