Detailed explanation-1: -Fossils give us a useful insight into the history of life on Earth. They can teach us where life and humans came from, show us how the Earth and our environment have changed through geological time, and how continents, now widely separated, were once connected.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many small organisms can be preserved within these layers of sediment through time. The changing abundances of these fossils through time can tell us whether a change in the environment or climate was gradual or abrupt. Studying fossil pollen and other fossils helps scientists to learn more about climate change.
Detailed explanation-3: -What does the fossil record show about how life has changed over time? The fossil record shows that life on Earth has evolved, or changed over time. Simple one-celled organisms have given rise to complex plants and animals. The fossil record show that organisms have evoloved and many have become extinct.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fossils provide evidence of how life has changed.
Detailed explanation-5: -They provide evidence of change from the earliest life-forms to those alive today as fossils can contain records such as teeth structure of the dinosaurs to make assumptions on their diet and compare how these trait evolve throughout time.
