Fossils often provide valuable information about climatic conditions of the geologic past. how else might a geologist infer ancient climatic conditions using sedimentary rocks? provide at least 4 examples. (hint: think in terms of the conditions necessary to form certain rocks and also features/structures found in sedimentary rocks.)

the correct answers are:

a - pacific plate;

it is the biggest oceanic tectonic plate. surrounded on all sides by continental tectonic plates, it is submerging and gradually becoming smaller and smaller.

b - north american plate;

huge continental plate, occupying big portion of the northern hemisphere.

c -eurasian plate;

alongside the north american plate, it is one of the two dominant continental plates in the northern hemisphere.

d - indian plate;

a small continental plate, that has been part of gondwanaland initially, but after the break up of it, moved towards northeast and pushed into the eurasian plate that was once part of laurasia.

tension is the type of stress that results when two tectonic plates diverge .
