Fossils of organisms that lived in shallow water can be found in horizontal sedimentary rock layers at great ocean depths. This fact is generally interpreted by most Earth scientists as evidence that

1. the cold water deep in the ocean kills shallow water organisms
2. sunlight once penetrated to the deepest parts of the ocean
3. organisms that live in deep water evolved from species that once lived in shallow water
4. sections of the Earth's crust have changed their elevations relative to sea level
