Over millions of years, these layers were pressed down and hardened into solid rock, trapping the fossils inside.", "When living organisms died, their remains were quickly washed away with thick water; like mud. Over a few months the mud formed layers that softened and started trapping the fossils inside.", One way the biosphere became part of the geosphere = Organisms such as mollusks, clams, and oysters have hard shells. When these organisms die, their shells may be broken up by waves and _________ in sand., deposited, then reconnected into big solid rocks, washed away, evaporate, One way the biosphere became part of the geosphere = Limestone forms in shallow, warm ocean water. When certain organisms die, their shells and skeletons accumulate in sediment, which eventually becomes ____________., sedimentary rock, mountains, caves, volcanoes, stationary rock, mud rock, One way the biosphere became part of the geosphere = Parrot fish eat tiny pieces of coral when they feed on seaweed and marine organisms.
