How can you use a fossil to indemnify the environment where the organism lived

Climate is one of the factors that determines where different species of plants and animals can live, so paleontologists look for clues to a location's ancient climate in the types of fossil plants and animals they find there. For example, no modern crocodile species lives in a climate with long periods of freezing temperatures, so scientists hypothesize that ancient crocodiles had the same requirement for year round warmth. That leads them to consider the 110-million-year-old crocodile fossils from the Washington, D.C. to be part of a large body of circumstantial evidence that temperatures there were warm year round during the Early Cretaceous. Similarly, coal beds and fossil trees in the Arctic Slope of Alaska are among the many clues that Alaskan temperatures were very warm during the Late Cretaceous.

Answer:hemoglobin that has a high affinity for oxygen

Explanation:

Haemoglobin is the oxygen carrying pigment in blood. It performs this function because of the presence of iron at the center of the haemoglobin which coordinates reversibly with oxygen thereby aiding delivery of oxygen to cells. At high altitudes where air is thinner and the partial pressure of oxygen is lower than sea level, haemoglobin must develop a greater affinity for oxygen in order to carry the scarce oxygen to cells.

In which of these situations is convection most likely the main form of heat transfer?
lorasvet [3.4K]
In the first situation: the mechanism of covection is the main form of heat transfer when warm air from a heater moves around and upward.

In the case of the metal pan the mechanism of heat transfer is conduction.

In the case of sunburn the mechanism is radiation.

In the case of an ice cube melting in a hand, conduction is the most important mechanism.
