What are the inferred pressure and temperature at the boundary of Earth's stiffer mantle and outer core?

• 3.1 million atmospheres pressure and an interior temperature of 6200°C

• 3.1 million atmospheres pressure and an interior temperature of 4950°C

• 1.5 million atmospheres pressure and an interior temperature of 4950°C

• 1.5 million atmospheres pressure and an interior temperature of 6200°C

Fossils of marine plants and animals are found in the bedrock of mountains many thousands of feet above sea level. The most likely reason for this observation is that

• The mountains were part of a mid-ocean ridge

• The ocean level has dropped several thousand feet

• Forces within the Earth caused uplift

• Transported materials were deposited at high elevations
