Extinction & Fossil Formations

An organism is any living thing, including plants, animals, and bacteria.

It can tell us what the animal ate.

Sediments are small pieces of rock, soil, and other materials that create layers.

It means all of its members have died.

Camouflage is a survival adaptation that allows animals to blend in with their environment.

Mimicry is when one species evolves to resemble another species for protection or other advantages.

Deposition is the process by which sediments are laid down in layers.

Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed from one location and transported to another.

A fossil is the preserved remains or traces of a once-living organism.

Extinction is the end of an organism or a group of organisms, meaning they no longer exist.
