How do ice cores, tree rings & index fossils provide valuable information about the past?

Biology

frez [133]3 years ago

Tree rings are annual growth rings and their thickness indicates how growing conditions were for that year. Index fossils in their type and frequency are indicative of the environment that those organisms grew in and how prolific life was then in that environment. Ice cores drilled through glaciers and ice sheets like in Antarctica tell us about such things as the concentration of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (as bubbles in the ice layers) and also about climatic  conditions in glacial and interglacial periods.

An error sometimes made by beginning biology students is called the "Adaptationist Fallacy" wherin a trait observed in a populat
aleksley [76]

Answer:

The Adaptationist Fallacy can prove very costly to biologist who are assuming it wrong according to the function in the environment. Let us have an example of the phenotype of wheat diploid breed that produces non-bearded grains variety, but we cannot assume it as a beneficial phenotype without further extensive research. After research, we came to know that there is also a major hexaploid bearded variety, that produces more number of grains. That's how, the Adaptationist Fallacy may prove fatal if we have assumed diploid as a major beneficial phenotype.

Len [333]
The parcelization and urbanization of forests bring with them serious consequences for nature and humans beings, although we probably see it as an advance; deforestation, logging, burning, seriously affect the vegetation, and the fauna of a forest, the human workforce , the deviation of rivers and the modification of natural zones seem to be a development of society, but in the long run it affects more to humans than to nature itself, because we are the ones who will not have natural lungs to breathe, and those who soon will be drowned with our own pollution, because there are no forests, no nature to purify the air we need.
