Answer:hey reasoned that all rocks that were laid down in layers in large part were laid down under or by water or action by a fluid. They later discovered that both water and wind laid down the materials that later became lithified to become rocks.When these rocks were deposited as sediments, this area was most likely (1) under the ocean (2) a desert between high mountains (3) repeatedly covered by lava flows (4) glaciated several times Both organisms that formed the fossils found in rock layers 3 and 4 (1) lived during the same period of geologic time (2) lived in polar regions
