Two conditions necessary for fossils to form?
well in your body there are made up of fossils as fossils are formed in hot places and your body is very warm
What are two types of evidence that suggest that evolution has occurred?
The two types are Dna, and fossils
What are two common fossils are found in Pennsylvania?
The Trilobite.

bacon
What two types of dating techniques are used in dating fossils?
Body fossils and trace fossils are the principal types of evidence about ancient life, and geochemical evidence has helped to decipher the evolution of life before there were organisms large enough to leave fossils. Estimating the dates of these remains is essential but difficult: sometimes adjacent rock layers allow radiometric dating, which provides absolute dates that are accurate to within 0.5%, but more often paleontologists have to rely on relative dating by solving the "jigsaw puzzles" of biostratigraphy.Classifying ancient organisms is also difficult, as many do not fit well into the Linnean taxonomy that is commonly used for classifying living organisms, and paleontologists more often use cladistics to draw up evolutionary "family trees". The final quarter of the 20th century saw the development of molecular phylogenetics, which investigates how closely organisms are related by measuring how similar the DNA is in their genomes. Molecular phylogenetics has also been used to estimate the dates when species diverged, but there is controversy about the reliability of the molecular clock on which such estimates depend.
What Two things that paleontologists can learn from fossils?
one that they can learn there definitely was life before and 2 that our ancestors developed to form us humans
What two things can be made into fossils?
Plants and animals
What is a scientist called who studies rocks and fossils?
Strictly speaking these are two differing types of scientists. Petrologists study rocks and paleontologists study fossils. However both these disciplines are covered in the broader training of a geologist.
What are two things that scientists learn from the fossils record?
The fossil record provides evidence about the history of life and past environment on earth. The fossil record also shows that different groups of organism have changed over time.
How do Paleontologists use the remains of the Trilobites?
Paleontologists use the fossils of different aged trilobites to identify the age of rock formations and fossils in other locations. Similar trilobites found in British Columbia as found in Asia would indicate the rock was nearly the same age from both sites. May also mean that the two locations were once close together, but moved away due to plate tectonics.
What two important things people can learn by studying history?
Two important things people can learn from studying history is the grest triumphs of the past and the things that happened long ago that to not repeat again.
What two things did civilization learn in the Middle East?
agriculture, and writing
What are Two most common types of fossils?
There are a variety of types of fossils. These include cast fossils, mold fossils, petrified wood, as well as fossil fuels.
What are two kinds of fossils?
Answer:Trace fossils: fossils like burrows, tracks,and holes.Original remains: parts of body.
What are two pieces of evidence used two support the theory that dinosaurs became extinct as a result of volcanic eruptions about 65 million years ago?
Using fossils and geographical clues, paleontologists have determined with some certainty that a meteor, not a volcano killed the dinosaurs. Although dinosaurs died out, some birds survived and today's birds are the direct descendants of the dinosaurs.
How do robots learn new things?
Robots learn new things through an Intel program and/or learning from experiences. COMMON SENSE!!! BINGO!!! Some grad students are making a program for robots that can help them learn from doing things as well as a two-year-old.
What are the scientists who study prehistoric times called?
two types of scientists who specialize in prehistoric times are 1) Paleontologists, they studied dinosaurs and such and 2) Paleobotonists, they study prehistoric plants.
