332 - Why is it important to study fossils?
Studying fossils is important because they help us learn about the past and how our planet changed over time. Fossils are like clues that tell us about:
- Ancient animals and plants that lived long ago.
- What the Earth's environment was like in the past.
- How different species evolved and changed over time.
By studying fossils, we can also learn about things like:
- How dinosaurs lived and became extinct.
- How the Earth's climate has changed over millions of years.
- How different animals and plants are connected and how they affect each other.
It's like being a detective and solving a mystery about the Earth's history.
