Question

drag each statement to the correct location on the table. classify the statements as true or false. the map of earth has changed over millions of years, but it is now set. fossils help scientists date rocks. sometimes younger rock layers are found beneath older rock layers. no fossils from the precambrian era have been found because there were no organisms at that time.

Explanation:

1. The Earth's geography has changed over millions of years due to plate - tectonics and other geological processes and is still changing, so "The map of Earth has changed over millions of years, but it is now set." is false.
2. Fossils are important for dating rocks as they can be used in relative and sometimes absolute dating methods, so "Fossils help scientists date rocks." is true.
3. Geological processes like folding and thrust - faulting can cause younger rock layers to be on top of older ones, so "Sometimes younger rock layers are found beneath older rock layers." is true.
4. Precambrian fossils have been found, although they are less common and more difficult to identify in some cases, so "No fossils from the Precambrian era have been found because there were no organisms at that time." is false.

Answer:

• "The map of Earth has changed over millions of years, but it is now set." - False
• "Fossils help scientists date rocks." - True
• "Sometimes younger rock layers are found beneath older rock layers." - True
• "No fossils from the Precambrian era have been found because there were no organisms at that time." - False
