Question

What are fossil fuels how are they formed describe in brief two methods of determining the age state any one role of fossils in the study of evolution

Answer 1

FOSSIL FUELS

the dead remains of plants and animals under the earths crust are known as fossil fuels

TWO METHODS TO STUDY THE AGE OF FOSSIL FUELS

1.if we dig into the earth and start finding fossils, it is resonable to suppose that the fossils we find closer to the surface are more recent than we find in deeper layers

2.the second way of dating fossil fuels is by detecting the ratios of different isotopes of the same element in the fossil material

ROLE

they tell us about the evolutionary relationship between organisms
