Question

4/10
what is one reason why are there gaps in michigans fossil record?
lots of fossil hunters found all the bones and teeth and put them in museums
warm ocean water caused lots of animals to go extinct
dry deserts allowed many fossils to form, but the wind blew the bones away
glaciers moved over the land, eroding sediments and destroying plant and animal remains

Explanation:

Michigan was repeatedly covered by glaciers during the Pleistocene epoch. These massive ice sheets eroded the land, scraping away sediment layers that contained fossilized plant and animal remains, which created gaps in the fossil record. The other options are incorrect: fossil hunters collecting specimens does not create gaps in the geological fossil record; warm ocean water would support, not erase, fossilization; dry deserts are not a dominant historical feature of Michigan, and wind erosion would not be the primary cause of fossil record gaps there.

Answer:

glaciers moved over the land, eroding sediments and destroying plant and animal remains
