How does sedimentary rock provide evidence of history of the earth?
Sedimentary rock provides evidence of the history of rock. But how? It’s very simple. There are different layers of earth piled on top of each other. They may contain fossils or other organic materails. Scientists study the layers of the Earth and do that by looking at the soil and rock. The type of sediment in different layers will, of course, be different. Therefore, scientists can figure out about the type of year or years that the occupants of the Earth had.
