Scientists found the fossils of whales and other marine animals in the sediments of the Andes mountains in Southern Chile. These fossils were discovered at altitudes more than 1500 m above sea level. These animals are determined to have died 15 – 20 million years ago. 1. Describe the events and geological processes that would have led to these whale fossils ending up high on the mountain range.

c is the answer to this question. altitude affects the weather because air molecules evaporate.

if you listed your answers right then i believe your answer is b.

well first you need the sample of the temperature and gas level. i couldnt write a hypothesis unless i had some data. i think temperature changes will effect volumes of gas because gas changed into a solid or liquid at specific temperatures.
