Question

1. the cross sections of the crust below represent two areas of sedimentary rock layers. these layers show how the earths surface has changed over time. which statement provides evidence that earths surface has changed over time? the sedimentary rock layers ______________. a consist of several layers and have been folded and split b. consist of several layers and are flattened c. have combined to form one layer d. contain no fossils

Explanation:

Sedimentary rock layers that have been folded and split show that forces (such as tectonic activity) have acted on them over time, changing their original flat - lying state. Flattened layers (Option B) just show their typical depositional state without indicating change over time. Layers combining to form one layer (Option C) is not a common or correct description of sedimentary rock layer evolution related to surface change. Layers containing no fossils (Option D) has no relation to surface change evidence.

Answer:

A. consist of several layers and have been folded and split
