Successful fossilization or preservation of an organism can occur in several ways: (1) preservation without change; (2) complete replacement by a mineral; (3) filling in of a hollow space by a mineral; (4) formation of a thin film of carbon; and (5) formation of an imprint or the filling in of an imprint.

What are two ways that radiometric dating can be used to establish the age of a fossil.?
Direct testing of the fossil material itself or materials associated with it, and indirect testing of material in stratigraphic contexts that bookend the fossil (i.e. a lava flow over the top of the layer a fossil is contained in).
There are 4 ways of a fossil can be destroyed once it becomes a fossil?
Fossils can be destroyed in many ways. Misshandling, exposure to environmental hazards such as weather or seismic activity, vandalism, etc.
2 ways bacteria is harmful to humans?
They can cause diseases. Another way is that they can invade organisms.
How does electricity reduce the use of fossil fuels?
Electricity does not inherently reduce the use of fossil fuels -- in fact, the production of electric energy is one of the biggest uses of fossil fuels. There are two ways that electric power can reduce the use of fossil fuels: Efficiency improvements, and alternate power sources. Efficiency improvements: * By replacing thousands of relatively inefficient fossil-fuel-burning engines with thousands of electric motors and a couple of highly efficient centralized fossil-fuel-burning electric power plants, the same amount of mechanical work requires less fossil fuel. * By using a microwave oven to cook food rather than a gas or electric conventional oven, only enough energy is used to heat the food itself, rather than heating up the internal structure of the oven and the air it contains, and maintaining that temperature for a longer time. Alternate power sources: Power can be produced in several ways that require no fossil fuels -- see the "What can you use instead of fossil fuels?" question below. Converting those forms of energy to electric power makes it easier to reduce or -- in principle -- eliminate the fossil fuel that otherwise would have been used to produce that electric power.
Summarize the ways that fossils helped support the hypothesis of continental drift?
The scientists that found the fossils found that were found on different continents. Some of the same fossil were located on each Continent that could only survive in one climate. Therefore, a fossil provided some evidence for the continental drift to be true.

Why are the five sencces what they are?
The five senses are as such: Sight, Smell, Hearing, Taste, and Touch. Each is one of the ways in which organisms experience their environment by taking cues from external stimuli.
Compare and contrast two ways of forming fossils?
A fossil is not alive, but mold is.Both either used to be, or are living.Mold feeds on organic matter, while a fossil doesn't.In general they're not very similar at all. Mold is something that decomposed organic matter, while a fossil is a preserved remain or trace of an animal, plant, or another organism.
