Why are fossils consider as important in studying of evolution |
|
Answer» Fossils provide evidence in favour of evolution or establish evolutionary relationships by providing missing links. So,\xa0it is considered important in the study of evolution.The age of the fossils can be determined by the following way:1) Radiometric dating: In this method, the age of the fossil\xa0can be determined by tracing the radioactive elements present in the rocks and examining it chemically.2) Relative dating:\xa0 The fossils are found in the sedimentary rocks in the form of layers accumulated over the large span of time. So, using this fact, the geologist find the age of fossils in the way that the fossil found at the bottom of those layers are found to be older than that found above those. And also tell about evolution They give an idea of an structure of organosm present in pre historic time and information about enviromental condition of that time |
