Describe how a layer of rock containing fossils could be present in a mountain wall that is several thousand feet above sea level.

Respuesta :

All of the fossils could be from fish,dinosoures,leaves, or plants. The reason why this could happen is because it could have happened thousand of years ago and the sea level could have been lower.

The earth's continents move with time. Over thousands and thousands of years, areas that were at sea level (or below sea level) that contain fossils of animals, plants and other deposits move with the surface and may end up in mountain ranges, which are the result of two continents pushing against each other.
