question 1
how does fossil evidence tell us about earths geographical changes?
select one:
a. fossil evidence tells us when and where plants and animals existed.
b. fossil evidence tells us when and where plants and animals existed.
c. fossil evidence tells us how plants and animals lived in the past.
d. fossil evidence tells us the number of animals and plants that existed.
e. fossil evidence tells us the size of the plants and animals that existed.

Explanation:

To determine how fossils show Earth's geographical changes, we need to identify which option links fossils to spatial and temporal location data. Fossils' positions in rock layers and their geographic occurrence reveal where and when organisms lived, which can show how landmasses or environments shifted over time (e.g., finding the same fossil on separate continents indicates past connected land). The other options focus on organism traits or behavior, not geographical change.

Answer:

a. Fossil evidence tells us when and where plants and animals existed.
