What may have caused Uranus' unique axis of rotation?
It spins on its side a 90 degree angle. Scientists think space debris or another planet hit Uranus.
Why do scientists think that seismic gaps are areas where future earthquakes are likely to occur?
Most earthquakes occur as a result of "stick-slip" behavior. As two plates move past each other they stick to each other along the fault and build up stress. Eventually the plates slip along part of the fault, releasing that stress as an earthquake. The longer part of a plate goes without an earthquake, the more stress builds up, and the more energy is available for a large earthquake. Scientists think these seismic gaps are areas where the plates have been stuck for a long time and so have built up stress for a very large earthquake.
Specific mass extinction of living organisms and global climatic in geologic history are inferred by most scientists to have been caused by what event?
1 the impct of asterious or large metors on earth surface
Why do scientists think Earths core contains iron?
The iron nickel core has been determined to actually exist from the examination of meteorites, from the gravitational field of Earth, and from the Earth's density in comparison to its volume.
In what region have damaging earthquakes been concentrated?
in a place

What do you think would have been a commonly used method of transportation for people in the region?
In a region with accessible waterways, boats and canoes would likely have been commonly used for transportation due to their efficiency in navigating rivers and coastlines. For land travel, walking or using horses or camels would have been prevalent depending on the terrain.
Did mammoths get extinct?
this has been a mystery for a long time, scientists think that it is because of hunting and climate change

How do scientists believe that a great flood killed the dinosaurs?
Scientists do not believe that the extinction of the dinosaurs was the result of a great flood. There are still a number of competing theories about the extinction of the dinosaurs although it is clear that there was a large meteor impact in the Yucatan region, which played a role. It may also be that rising carbon dioxide levels and ocean acidity played a role as well. It may be that there were a number of contributing factors, rather than just one single cause. But scientists do not think that flooding was involved. Note that some dinosaurs were aquatic, and would not have been killed by flooding since they already lived in the water.
