Expert Answer
When a plant or an animal dies, their remains fall on the ground. Over a period of time, their body gets covered by mud or sediments brought by rivers, winds etc. These sediments keep on getting accumulated for over hundreds of years and form fossils. When that land gets eroded, the fossils can be seen clearly. Thus, the process of accumulation of dead remains of plants and animals for over hundreds of years results in the formation of fossils.
