So few dinosaur fossils have been found in Antarctica because the entire continent is covered in ice, making it hard to dig and/or search for large fossils.
Why have so few dinosaur fossils been in Antarctica?
To preserve a fossil you need very special conditions during a long time period. That is why there are only few places in which you can find fossils. Besides, is not easy doing this type of research in Antarctica. Do you imagine the cold?
Why were so few dinosaurs found in Antarctica?
The reason that so few dinosaurs have been found in Antarctica is because it is almost impossible to dig for fossils on most of Antarctica. First, most if it is underneath a mile of ice. Secondly, because Antarctica is so harsh, few paleontologists go to dig even in the areas of rock that are exposed. To me, for those reasons, it's surprising that any dinosaurs have been found in Antarctica.
Why are there so few land creatures found in Antarctica?
There are so few land creatures in Antarctica, penguins and some other birds being pretty much the only inhabitants because on the continent there is no food chain to support them.
How is it possible that dinosaur eggs were found in Antarctica?
There are three reasons; Antarctica wasn't at the south pole in the early Jurassic and during the Cretaceous, there was more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which pushed up temperatures so that dinosaurs were able to survive. Finally, some dinosaurs were believed to be warm blooded and have feathers which are adaptations to survive colder temperatures - birds, particularly penguins, live at the south pole today and there is strong evidence that modern birds have evolved from dinosaurs.
Why have so few fossil dinosaurs been found in Antarctica?
The biggest problem with finding fossils in Antarctica is that everything is covered in ice, making it hard for archaeologists to excavate and find fossils.
Is Antarctica subject to earthquakes?
Antarctica is the quietest continent on earth. Antarctica is earthquake-quiet, possibly because of having so few seismographic instruments, so very few quakes are recorded. What does occur in Antarctica is ice-quakes, which are usually smaller than earthquakes.
Are dinosaur fossils in all continents?
Yes, dinosaur fossils have been found on all continents, including Antarctica. Fossils from different regions provide valuable insights into the diversity and distribution of dinosaurs during the Mesozoic era.
Where can adelie penguins be found in antarctica?
Adelie penguins can be found on Antarctica's continent only when they breed, and usually close to open water, so: on the beaches.
What birds is found in Antarctica?
No birds are found in Antarctica: it's too cold and there is no food chain. However, some sea birds do breed on Antarctica's beaches, including penguins, terns, albatross and so forth.
Is there a color called dinosaur?
There is no color named "dinosaur." Scientists only know the colors of a few types of feathered dinosaurs, so it wouldn't make sense to name a color after dinosaurs.
What was the first ever dinosaur?
That depends on what you mean. The first Dinosaur discovered by scientists and named was Megalosaurus. But many believe that ancient civilizations based myths of dragons, griffens, sea serpents, Gods, etc, on Dinosaur fossils. The first Dinosaur to appear, as in the oldest Dinosaur, was Herrarasaurus. But older Dinosaur fossils may be found, so we can never be certain.
