Answer: sleep on just one side of their brain at a time

Explanation: While sleeping, the dolphin shuts down only half of its brain together with the opposite eye while the other half of the brain stays awake at a minimum level of alertness. It uses its attentive side to watch for predators or obstacles. The dolphin also reverses this process to rest the active side of the brain and awake the rested half.

Answer:

They sleep on just one side of their brain at a time

Explanation:

Dolphins are different from fishes that can breathe underwater.

It is necessary for them to get to the surface of the water at intervals to breathe air.

While sleeping, dolphins allows one hemisphere of their brains fall asleep while the other half is fully conscious. This means that If the left brain is sleeping, the right eye stays open and if the right brain is sleeping, the left eye stays open.

This happens so they always know when it's time to surface and breathe and when to escape when there is trouble.

Why do scientists study fossils?
Tasya [4]
Hi,

By studying fossils, scientists can learn how life has changed over time, how earth's surface has changed and what past environments were like. Fossils form when living things die and are buried by sediment; they are usually found in Sedimentary rock. Only the hard parts of organisms generally leave fossils because the soft parts generally decay too quickly to fossilize. In case you didn't know, there are two types of fossils; rock fossils and preserved fossils.

Option c) is the correct option above.

<span>c) Fossils give information about the time period in which organisms lived in the past.
