Paleontologists study the remains of organisms that lived in the past. Many of these remains are preserved in rocks. Which two parts of the earth system is a paleontologist involved in? A. lithosphere and atmosphere B. hydrosphere and atmosphere C. biosphere and lithosphere D. biosphere and magnetosphere

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why don't we break down the words? Hyrdo is what? Water. Would palenthontologists study remains of organisms in the atmosphere where the water cycle takes place?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Possibly. What is lithosphere? Why don't you try looking that up, I can look up answer C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find lithosphere while I check out biosphere.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The biosphere is where life exists. Land, water, where ever life is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The Lithosphere Is the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. What is the atmosphere?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gaseous layer surrounding the earth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, so scientists would not be looking in the atmosphere. A and B is ruled out. What is the magnetisphere?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the region surrounding the earth or another astronomical body in which its magnetic field is the predominant effective magnetic field.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so do you think they would be serching there for prehistoric fossils or remains?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remains?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remains of prehistoric animals.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so um.. the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is definitely D Then two parts of earth system which a palaeontologist is involved are biosphere and magnetosphere. The study of Earth's life forms is also part of geology. A magnetosphere is typically formed when a tributary of charged particles interacts by the magnetic field of a planet.
