Sometimes fossils can be found in sedimentary rocks. Which statement best explains why? Group of answer choices

1. Larger rocks are slowly eroded away by the elements on Earth.

2. The remains of dead plants and animals settle to the bottom of an ocean or lake and are covered by mud. Pressure eventually forms these layers into rock.

3. Heat and pressure from deep within Earth cure fossils to form.

4. Lava may flow over an animal or plant; as it cools and hardens, a fossilized rock is formed.

Answer : The remains of dead plants and animals settle to the bottom of an ocean or lake and are covered by mud. Pressure eventually forms these layers into rock.

Why? : Basically sedimentary rocks are formed in low temperature, the pressure is low so the remains of any dead plants don't burn or get destroyed.

Igneous rocks form from molten rock and don't really get much fossils in them,

Metamorphic rocks has been under great pressure which fossils would not be able to survive in.

the first part is ocean

whats the question huh huh bruh
