Taphonomists study
a. undersea life
b. how bone assemblages come to be buried
c. the classification of fossil species
d. plate tectonics

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

The study of the procedures by which the organic traces and remains are included in the fossil record is known as taphonomy. It is the subdiscipline of archaeology and paleontology and is primarily concerned with the features and context of fossil remains. Taphonomist refers to an individual who studies taphonomy. Hence, the option that is the study of how bone assemblages come to be buried is studied by a taphonomist.

1) Improved transport, making global travel easier. For example, there has been a rapid growth in air travel, enabling greater movement of people and goods across the globe.

2)Containerisation. From 1970, there was a rapid adoption of the steel transport container. This reduced the costs of inter-modal transport, making trade cheaper and more efficient.

3) Improved technology which makes it easier to communicate and share information around the world. E.g. internet. For example, to work on improvements on this website, I will go to a global online community, like elance.com.
