X rays are of a much higher energy than visible light, so they have more penetrating power. So they can easily penetrate tissue, but they penetrate bones less well, and most metals almost not at all.

What is used to detect destructive changes in the bones?

X-rays and other imaging techniques such as CT scans and MRIs are commonly used to detect destructive changes in the bones. These imaging techniques provide detailed pictures of the bones and surrounding tissues to help diagnose conditions such as fractures, infections, tumors, and degenerative diseases.


At birth humans have 300 bones as you mature you end up with 206 explain?

It isn't quite 300 but it is more, this is due to the fact that some bones in babies (mainly the skull) are not fused from birth, it takes time for the parts to fuse together, that is why, when you see a skull there are lines all over them that look similar to fractures.

How can scientists use dinosaur bones to explain superposition?

Scientists can use dinosaur bones to explain superposition by examining the layers of sedimentary rock in which the bones are found. According to the principle of superposition, in undisturbed layers, older rock layers are found beneath younger ones. By analyzing the stratigraphic position of dinosaur fossils within these layers, scientists can determine the relative ages of the fossils, helping to reconstruct the timeline of dinosaur evolution and the geological history of the area. This method allows researchers to understand how different species coexisted and how environmental conditions changed over time.
