The kind and numbers of fossils found in different kinds of rocks give clues about past ecosystems. Fossils give evidence that, in any ecosystem, some plants and animals survive well, and some do not.

∙ 9y agoThe fossils of extinct animals can give many clues as to what the animal looked like, what the animal's behavior patterns were, where the animal lived, why the animal died, and what time period the animal existed.

What do fossils teach us about extinction?
The kind and numbers of fossils found in different kinds of rocks give clues about past ecosystems. Fossils give evidence that, in any ecosystem, some plants and animals survive well, and some do not.
How do scientists find out about extinction?
They find fossils inside their bum
What happens when animals extinct?
They can be studied from fossils but the species or animal is no longer present. Hopefully there is no extinction to any animals.
What do fossils teach us about your environment?
A lot of things, such as, were they biped or not, were their bones broken, etc.
How do scientists know that KT extinction took place?
When we see that there are fossils found in a certain geological layer, which are evidence that a certain species existed at that time, and then in the next geological stratum we no longer find those fossils, and there is no evidence that the species which used to exist still exists, we infer that the species became extinct. If a whole lot of species become extinct at approximately the same time, we call that an extinction event, such as the KT extinction.
Why do Buddha teach that the cessation of suffering is the extinction of craving?
Because he was enlightened. (At least this is the Buddhist view).
How do you learn about the extinction of animals?
You can learn about them through fossils, like CT scaning to see how old the fossil is, or putting fossils and bones of the same animal together. if you have any questions about animals go to plurp327.weebly.com
What types of fossils most likely teach us about animals behaviours?

Animals extinction sometimes still leave their fossils , and they can determine much about them through scientific instruments . -AlanKeo
How dose archaeology teach us about the past?
Because archealogy is the study of fossils from hundreds of years ago/ the past
What do archaeologist learn about early modern humans by studying their fossils and artifacts?
Artifacts and fossils teach us about the past by giving us a perspective about ancient cultures. Scientists studying artifacts and fossils do so to give the world a better understanding of cultures. The more artifacts and fossils discovered, the more lost puzzle pieces are found
How is the geological time scale different today?
It is not diffrent since it is marked out by extinction events or other such major changes in two adjacent rock stratum (layers of rock), for example the boundaries can be distinguished by changes in the types of fossil found such as the K-T extinction event as there are no dinosaur fossils found in the layers that were deposited after the event. That said though different places have diffrent names for the same rock stratum due to several factors such as the fossils found in India will not match the fossils found in the UK much as you cannot find wild tigers in London.
