Some fossils provide evidence to suggest that Earth's climate has changed over time.What information can scientists obtain from these fossils?

Fossils of climate-sensitive organisms can show the conditions in which they lived. For example, the kinds of plants and animals preserved in a rock layer can indicate whether the climate was warm or cold, so scientists can estimate past temperatures. Fossils alone do not directly reveal the exact cause of mass extinctions or continental movement.
