Explain how the fossil of a sea animal could have been in a mountain region.

It was in the bottom of the bleak ocean between what is now India and China.

Then the earth plates at the ocean bottom crashed together and forced the ground at the edges straight up forming the Himalaya mountain range, even Mount Everest and K2. Is that where you caught your lobster?

Did you know?

Did you know that fossils of sea animals can be found in mountain regions? This peculiar occurrence is due to the process of plate tectonics and the shifting of the Earth's crust over millions of years. Mountains are formed when two tectonic plates collide, forcing one plate to subduct beneath the other. As the sea floor is pushed into the Earth's interior, it undergoes immense heat and pressure, causing it to rise and uplift, eventually forming mountains. This uplifting process brings along with it layers of sediments, including those containing the fossils of ancient sea creatures. So, the next time you discover a fossil in a mountain region, you'll know that it is a unique reminder of the Earth's dynamic past and the amazing forces that shape our planet.
