17. How does the GTS help you understand about life in the geologic past?

It corresponds to various landforms on Earth and provides a fossil record of organisms that dominated
each period of time.
It gives much information about the evolution of animals only because most animals can be found in the
younger rock layers.
It corresponds to various organisms that evolved geometrically over time most are found in the older rock
layers.
It gives the age of older rock layers on Earth and provides a record of the organisms that dominated each
period of time.
