What kind of observation is observing animal tracks to estimate polulation size?

Why are vestigial structures considered critical evidence of evolution?
Vestigial structures are considered evidence, but no more critical than any other line of evidence in Biology and palaeontology. They're considered evidence, not because of their function, but because of the way their morphologies follow the nested hierarchies of biology: the vestigial legs of whales, for instance, have exactly the kind of shape we would have expected them to have if whales had descended from land mammals. The same goes for human tailbones and embryonic branchial ridges, the wings of emus, and so on.
How does paleontology provide evidence of evolution?
AnswerThe fossil record is the primary source of evidence of past life forms.The fossil record is also an important source of evidence of evolution. However, Charles Darwin was able to develop his Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection largely without reference to fossil evidence. He saw evidence for evolution in present life forms. Another source of evidence for evolution is to be found in DNA.
What are the uses of microfossils in geology?

How is it easy to support a hypothesis?
Well...it all depends on the hypothesis. For example, if you know exactly how to back it up with evidence, than very easy. But...if your hypothesis is kind of 'far out', and finding evidence will be difficult, then writing it will be hard.
What kind of proof is required when disproving old ideas?

What kind of results would confirms a hypothesis?
A result which is consistent with a hypothesis adds weight to the evidence in favour of that hypothesis: it makes it more likely that the hypothesis is true. But you can never ever confirm a scientific hypothesis. The best that you can do is to show that an alternative hypothesis is unlikely. There could be another hypothesis which is better than the one you started with as well as the alternative that you compared it with: but you simply do not know.
In what kind of proof do you assume the opposite of what you want to prove?
This is a "proof by contradiction", where the evidence would fail to support the reverse assumption, giving credence to the original hypothesis.
How is a problem different from hypothesis?
A problem is a kind of question. A hypothesis is a kind of estimate of how something works or why it doesn't work, or is, or is not, or might eventually be.
What are the kind of hypothesis?
the 3 kinds of hypothesis are: 1. alternative: this is the hypothesis that is affirmative, positive, and approving..... this gives a positive possible result of the experiment. 2. null: this is a negative hypothesis about the experiment........ 3. cause and effect: this kind of hypothesis gives a cause and effect hypothesis.... this has the "if & then" clause...... (example: "if sunlight affects the growth of plants, then it might slow down or fasten the plant's growth.")
