Here are your answers:

1. Paleontologist use the technique called "relative dating" which is when scientist compare rocks to determine the age. So if you have a rock which has a similar surface to another rock you could determine the age of that rock. You could also use the technique called the "radiometric dating" by measuring the amount of isotopes in the rock.

2. You can determine the age of a rock by "looking how rough or smooth the rocks are"... so lets say you fine a rock that has many points, sides, and rough edges which means the rock is actually pretty young so it was recently created and most likely a sedimentary rock, but if you find a rock that has smooth sides and no rough edges which would mean the rock is pretty old rocks could go up to thousands of years old and if a rock is that smooth it could be up too a million years old.

Hope this helps!

If the pride is taken over by new individuals, what happens to the females? males? cubs?.
Nookie1986 [14]

The cubs are a significant barrier to reproduction when a new male coalition first takes control of a pride. Mothers of surviving cubs won't mate again until their young are at least 18 months old, but if their cubs are lost, they will mate right away.

  • Following that, males leave on their own or are driven out by other men who take control of their pride. It is common for a new male to kill all the cubs when he joins the pride in order to pass his genes on to all future cubs. The major function of males in the pride is defending the pride's territory.
  • Female lionesses will devour the cubs of other pride, but not the cubs of their own pride. The "egalitarianism" of female lions stands in stark contrast to the autocratic behavior of wolves, wild dogs, and several other species, where dominant females prevent subordinates from reproducing.
  • When a female lion gives birth, she leaves the pride and doesn't come back until the cubs are several weeks old. After that, the adult females band together to take care of and protect the young.
