17. What is organic material.

18. These are factors such as climate and availability of resources which have changed over time.

19. What are environmental conditions.

20. This describes the the way that rocks are stacked with oldest rocks and fossils in the deepest layers and youngest, most recent fossils and rocks near the top.

21. What are rock layers.

22. This is the rock type that forms when sediments are pressed and cemented together.
