Explain how fossils of birds similar to modern birds provide evidence of climates in the past.?
Fossils of birds similar to modern species offer insights into past climates by indicating the types of environments in which they thrived. For instance, the presence of certain bird fossils in specific geological layers can suggest whether an area was once tropical, temperate, or arid based on the ecological preferences of those birds. Additionally, these fossils can reveal information about the flora and fauna of the time, further informing scientists about the climate conditions that supported those ecosystems. Thus, studying these bird fossils helps reconstruct ancient climates and understand how they have changed over time.
What is a factor is not a strong piece of evidence for evolution?
C) Many traits of modern birds resemble the fossils of winged dinosaurs C) Many traits of modern birds resemble the fossils of winged dinosaurs
What is the origin of StLouis Cardinals mascot?
The origin of the St. Louis Cardinals mascot dates back to the 1920's. As a professional baseball team, the Cardinals name and mascot were based on the birds of the same name. These birds were synonymous with the color red, and were in large numbers in the greater St. Louis area.
What are so interesting about fossils?
the question should be what aren't interesting about fossils because without fossils we wouldn't have discovered new species of fish, birds, bugs and we wouldn't know about dinosaurs!!
Do fossils suggest that birds have been on earth for more than 500 million years?
is true or false, fossils suggest that birds have been on earth for more than 500 million of years
What film is Angry Birds based on?
Well the first Angry Birds was not actually based on a movie but Angry Birds Rio was based on the movie Rio.
How do you know that dinosaurs lived?
Because we have their fossils (solidified remains), and even fossilised eggs. And because of the fossils, then we have proof of their descendants, birds or they came from a common ancestor.
How scientist know that dinosaurs existed?
Because they are alive today, birds are dinosaurs. And because of fossils.
Reptiles and birds are divided into two classes reptilia and aves What fossil evidence would be the BEST support for this division?
The best fossil evidence supporting the division between reptiles and birds would be transitional fossils showing a clear evolutionary pathway between the two groups. Fossils with features characteristic of both reptiles and birds, such as Archaeopteryx, provide strong support for the evolutionary link between these classes.
Why are birds difficult to classify?
Birds are difficult to classify because they must be categorized by their genetic makeup. Sometimes there are over eight classifications for a specific bird.
Most scientists now believe that birds evolved directly from bipedal?
Theropod dinosaurs, based on fossil and genetic evidence. Theropods share skeletal and anatomical features with birds, suggesting a common evolutionary ancestor. This hypothesis is supported by discoveries of transitional fossils, such as Archaeopteryx, that exhibit characteristics of both dinosaurs and birds.
Why are birds poorly represented in the fossil record?
In order for birds to fly they need light and often hallow bones. Because of this they can easily be broken and do not easily form fossils.
