___________________________________are the preserved remains or evidence of ancient living things.

The fossils of freshwater animals found on different continents separated by saltwater oceans today was one piece of evidence to support Alfred Wegener's theory of ___________________________.

___________________________________is the idea that conditions and organisms on Earth change In quick, violent events. These events could include volcanic eruptions, widespread flooding, or an Asteroid strike

The principle of uniformitarianism was pioneered by the the work of _______________, known as the Father of Geology.

The principle of ________________________________ states that geologic processes that occur today are similar to those that have occurred in the past.

Some conditions increase the likeliness that an organism will fossilize upon death. Which of the following would not be one of those conditions?

Most of the organisms that have lived and died throughout the history of Earth have become fossils.

If an organism dies near flowing water, it's chances of becoming a fossil are a little better.

_______________________________________ include some original biological material from the organism, such as scales, skin, hair, etc.

A ______________________________is the fossilized carbon outline of an organism or part of an organism

A __________________ is an impression in a rock left by an ancient organism that forms when sediment around an organism hardens and the organism decays.

A ____________________ is a fossil copy of an organism made when a mold of an organism is filled in with sediment or mineral deposits.

Replicas, or copies of organisms can form in the minerals in groundwater. They fill in the pore spaces or replace the dead tissues of organisms.

Scientists who study fossils are called__________________________________.

If you find the fossilized remains of an ancient shark species in Ohio, what can you reasonably infer about Ohio?

If you find the fossilized remains of an ancient Woolly Mammoth in Mexico, what can you reasonably infer about Mexico?

Fossil evidence shows us that Earth has warmed and cooled many times in the past.

__________________________is the age of rocks and geologic features compared with other rocks and features nearby.

__________________________is the principle that in undisturbed rock layers, the oldest rocks are on the bottom.

According to the principle of __________________________________________, most rock-forming materials are deposited in horizontal layers.
