Question

While digging if fossils are found at deeper layers of the earth, we can conclude that

• A. Fossil is the most recent.
• B. Fossil is very old may be more than thousand years.
• C. Fossil age cannot be computed.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Fossil is very old may be more than thousand years.

The correct answer is 'fossil is very old maybe more than thousand years old'

In the soil or lithosphere all that dies and is left on the ground gets progressively covered with more and more layers of sand/soil and keeps getting buried in the deeper layers. The longer it has been in the lithosphere , the more number of layers of soil will cover it. Thus, anything that is found in deeper layers will be older.
