Sometimes fossils can be found in sedimentary rocks. Which statement

best explains why?

A

Heat and pressure from deep within Earth cause fossils to form.

B

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.

C

Lava may flow over an animal or plant, and as it cools and hardens, a

fossilized rock is formed.

D

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