How did a marine fossil end up on Mt. Everest?
(Describe the 3 steps that led to this.)
Mt. Everest was once under water.
Two plates pushed the mountain up.
Weathering and erosion exposed the fossil.

An Insulator
Energy never moves from cold to hot because...
The hot particles want to get rid of their energy while the cold particles want to take more energy.
