please explain A drawback of the time hypothesis to explain the variation in species richness is that 1. Cannot account for algal diversity. 2. Fossils do not preserve well in the oceans. 3. Geological activity may interfere with species richness measurements. 4. It is not applicable to marine ecosystems because there was no glaciation in oceans. 5. Humans significantly modified marine environments.

The graph below shows the population of three different families of marine organisms along five different mass extinction events. Each colour on the graph represents a family of organisms, and the Y axis shows how many species belong to that family. a. What stage of population growth is displayed at point ‘0’ on the graph above? b. The Extinction Event that occurred at point 3 was particularly significant. Using the graph, explain how this event impacted each marine family. c. The extinction events mapped above had significant impact on marine life. What type of event could have a similar impact on the human population?

Is extinction normal? Explain. What is NOT normal about it now? Why is the loss of biodiversity so crucial to Earth and us?
What is the validity of concern for potential marine extinction? Defend these concerns or lack thereof with more proof. Provide additional references (journal article, reputable website, etc.) to support these comments.
Scientists are examining the possible role of a large asteroid in the cretaceous mass extinction event. A large asteroid strike would likely have caused rapid climate cooling and the diffusion of sunlight. which of the following statements are the best null and alternative hypotheses when scientists look at the geologic evidence of extinction related to the asteroid strike?

The ends of many eras and periods in the geologic time scale are characterized by mass extinction. These events are triggered by different causes, but all are observed by the disappearance of (1) species in the succeeding rock strata. Write the answer for #1
Identify a species that your group thinks is ok to drive to extinction and justify the reasons for this decision. Can you anticipate any consequences of losing this species from the Earth?
Scientists are examining the possible role of a large asteroid in the Cretaceous mass extinction event. A large asteroid strike would likely have caused rapid climate cooling and diffusion of sunlight. Which of the following statements are the best null and alternative hypotheses when scientists look at the geologic evidence of extinction related to the asteroid strike? Null: The rate of extinction would be steady over the entire length of time the climate was altered. Alternative: The rate of extinction would be greatest immediately before the asteroid strike. Null: The rate of extinction would gradually decrease over the entire length of time the climate was altered. Alternative: The rate of extinction would be at its lowest immediately after the asteroid strike. Null: The rate of extinction would be steady over the entire length of time the climate was altered. Alternative: The rate of extinction would be greatest immediately after the asteroid strike. Null: The rate of…
Geologic changes often accompany mass extinction of life forms. Why do you think this is true?
If a sixth extinction event is occurring, how is it similar or different from the previous five mass extinctions? What sort of evidence do you think scientists look for to determine whether we are living through a mass extinction?
