Question

which statements about fossils are true? check all that apply. they give clues about earths climate in the ancient past. only animals can become fossils. fossils show what earth was like millions of years ago. fossils can be found in ice. the best fossils are preserved in tar.

Explanation:

Fossils are remnants of past - life forms or activities. Plant and animal remains can fossilize, so the statement that only animals can become fossils is false. There's no objective measure to say tar - preserved fossils are the "best". Fossils can indeed provide climate clues, show past Earth conditions, and can be found in ice (e.g., woolly mammoths in permafrost).

Answer:

• They give clues about Earth's climate in the ancient past.
• Fossils show what Earth was like millions of years ago.
• Fossils can be found in ice.
