What type of fuel forms from the dead organisms acted on by temperature and pressure of the earth?
Coal and oil products .
What forms when a fossil mold is filled?
when fossile mould is filled it forms the model of the fossile
What type of fuel forms the dead organisms acted on by temperature and pressure of the earth?
Fossil fuel forms from the dead organisms acted on by temperature and pressure of the earth over millions of years.
What is dead plants or animals that have turned into rock?
The rock that forms is called a fossil.
What fossil forms an empty space left in a rock?
it is called a MOLD
What are transitional forms?
Fossils or organisms that show the intermediate states between an ancestral form and that of its descendants are referred to as transitional forms. There are numerous examples of transitional forms in the fossil record, providing an abundance of evidence for change over time.
What should you observe in the fossil record if evolution is slow and steady?
If evolution is slow and steady, we'd expect to see the entire transition, from ancestor to descendent, displayed as transitional forms over a long period of time in the fossil record.
What do fossil forms of evolution show?
The transition of phyla of organisms over time. That is the great strength of the fossil record; evolution shown in the sedimentary rock.
How the fossil record indicates a long history of changing life forms.?
The fossil record shows that different species have evolved over time. The fossil record also provides evidence of how a specific organism evolved from earlier species. The fossil record shows that organisms have become more complex over time. It also shows which organisms lived during the same time period, which have a common ancestor, and which have become extinct.
How does the fossil record evidence support the modern theory of evolution?
Answer 1For Example, You find a fossil of a creature from a certain timeline, then you find the same creature with some changes in a timeline later than the previous and if you have enough fossils you can see how the organism appears at its earliest place in the fossil record( some organisms only appear in the fossil record once they have evolved in a way that makes fossilization possible eg shell, jellyfish are very rare in fossils because they are mostly water) and see the organism change over time into a completely different animal through a series of consecutive glimpses of the creature.Answer 2The absence of transitional forms (fossil record) is an insurmountable hurdle for all evolutionists.Answer 3The fossil record, with its many diverging progressions of traits and morphological intermediates, illustrates the changing of life forms as they diverge from their common ancestors towards more modern forms, matching seamlessly the nested hierarchies of modern morphology. Even without the fossil record, we would have had a pretty good picture of our evolutionary past - with it, we can give shape to the forms that came before us.
How many transitional forms does a fossil record contain?
"Transitional form" is an arbitrary term because every organism, whether living or fossil, is a link in the chain between an ancestral organism and a descendent. The break into new species is gradual rather than sudden. Every fossil is therefore a "transitional form" in the strict sense.In general, "transitional form" is used specifically to link one modern species with its prehistoric ancestor. In some cases, a form may not be a specific ancestor of an identifiable living species, but it may have general characteristics that indicate the evolutionary path that was being followed. E.g. the bird fossil Confuciusornis may not be ancestral to living birds, but it still indicates the direction of evolution from earlier repties.There are abundant transitional forms that illustrate e.g. the transition from fish to land animals; the transition from amphibians to reptiles; the transition from dinosaurs to birds; and the transition from early apes to humans.Because the definition of "transitional form" in the narrow sense (a transition between two set organisms) is variable, it's not possible to give a strict number.
One kind of fossil forms from the body parts of organisms. What is another kind of fossil?
There are four types of fossils that can be found. These are true fossils, mold fossils, trace fossils and cast fossils.
Why are there gaps in the fossil record particularly at the end of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras?
Apparently, and with evidence, these were periods of global catastrophes (for life-forms) where massive numbers of organisms went extinct.
What nonrenewable energy resource forms from buried remains of organisms?
fossil fuel
What is nonrenewable energy resource that forms from buried remains of organisms?
fossil fuel
What nonrenewable energy resource that forms from buried remains of organisms?
