How Did Dinosaurs Use Volcanic Heat?
An exciting find comes from Argentina: scientists discovered a big nesting site of long-necked dinosaurs right next to ancient hot springs and volcanic soil. The dino moms apparently laid their eggs in the warm ground on purpose – the heat from the Earth kept the eggs warm, almost like a natural incubator! Today, some birds called megapodes use warm volcanic soil for their eggs in a similar way.
