Answer:

Permafrost, amber and tar

Explanation:

Fossils are the remains of prehistoric plants or animals embedded and  preserved in rocks. They are preserved by three main methods: unaltered soft or hard parts, altered hard parts, and trace fossil.

Soft-tissue original remains are very rare except as captured in amber, trapped in tar, dried out or frozen in permafrost.

Amber is ancient tree sap that can trap flowers, worms, insects as well as small amphibians and mammals and preserve them whole.

Permafrost is an area of land that is permanently frozen below the surface. It is common in Siberia (part of Russia) and in Alaska. Many different kinds of frozen extinct as well extant animals have been found in Siberian permafrost, including woolly mammoths, horses and bison, and lions.

Tar or asphalt is a liquid found naturally in small pits in swamps. These pits are  formed from crude oil seeping through the ground. The lighter elements of crude oil evaporate leaving thick sticky asphalt. Animals that fall into these pits hardly escape and their bodies are preserved within. Fossils of animals such as wolves, short-faced bears, American lions, ground sloth and saber-toothed cat have been found preserved intact in tar.

What are fossils? What do they tell us about the process of evolution?<br>​
vredina [299]

What is a fossil?

Fossils are fossilised (petrified) remains of animals/plants. A fossil though, is only a fossil, when it is from a different geological era.

How does that relate to evolution?

Evolution and fossils are very related. When we scan the DNA of different fossils, we find that the DNA can be similar to living species we have today, which helps us trace back their origins.

Tracing back a species origins is not something we do just to see how that species changed along time. When we manage to make an evolutionary chart of a species, we know how they changed, what they changed, and maybe not more, but very importantly, when the previous species were extinguished. If we know when they were extinguished, we can find out what caused that extinction:

- A lack of adaptation.

- Lack of resources.

- Temperature changes.

- Increase of predators.

- Deadly migrations.

- Other natural disasters.

So, in other words, by studying one species, we can study our own planet.

Hope it helped,

Some digestive products, such as water and electrolytes, will be absorbed by diffusion. They diffuse from an area of ___________
Montano1993 [528]

Answer: Higher concentration; Lower concentration.

Explanation: The food that we eat undergoes digestion and breaks down into smaller components.

These small components of the food needs to be absorbed first by the process of diffusion.

The water molecules along with the electrolytes are absorbed from an area of its higher concentration in the lumen is transported to area where its concentration is very low.

Hence, the correct answer is diffusion, which is responsible for the transportation of products from one place (higher concentration) to another parts (lower concentration)in the body.

kati45 [8]

Answer:

  • law of superposition - Relative Dating
  • important method for geologists - Absolute Dating, Relative Dating
  • places historical events in their correct order - Relative Dating
  • establishes how many years ago a given event took place - Absolute Dating
  • radioactive decayused on rock strata - Absolute Dating

Explanation:

Absolute dating is an important process used by geologists. This process allows geoologists to determine the timing of a given factor in the environment. In other words, absolute dating allows a numerical age to be estimated for that factor or the age interval between factors, but without putting the factors' formation events in order. It is generally used to date chemical and physical elements present in artifacts and rocks.

Relative dating is also an important process for geologists, but it does provide a relative order of past events and does not provide a numerical age, like absolute dating. It is generally used to date rocks, surface deposits and fossils, often using the law of superposition as a basis.
