Concept explainers

Marine Evolution

Marine habitat is less explored, and hence, its biological diversity is far less known. The marine habitats are not constant due to their shifting nature, while the terrestrial habitats are more stable. Marine biology is the science that deals with the study of diverse marine species, their interactions, and behavioral characteristics.

Question 1: Mass extinction ocurred on the following time and era except for: A. Mesozoic B. Precambrian C. Paleozoic D. Cenozoic E. All of the answers are correct Question 2: Why would Precambrian Time did not have a lot of fossils? A. fossils were destroyed by extreme heat and pressure. B. soft bodied animals do not leave a lot of fossils. C. majority of the fossils during Precambrian time underwent chemical transformation D. paleontologists haven’t recovered much of the remains of ancient organisms.

Geological time covers huge spans, up to billions of years. Yet humans rarely live for more than 100 years. Therefore, why should we bother trying to understand geological time? Does this topic have any relevance to society?
29) The Cretaceous extinction. which was the most recent mass extinction, occurred about 65.5 million years ago. What is the leading hypothesis to explain the Cretaceous extenction? A) The Indian sub-continent collided with the Asian techtonic plate, giving rise to the Hymalayan mountains which altered the jet stream and caused the planet to enter an ice age B) An asteroid about 6 km in diameter collided with Earth, which vaporized the caribbean ocean, set fire to north and south America, and expelled enough dust into the atmosphere to block the sun enough to result in a winter like environment all across the globe for several years C) A new group of predators evolved that were significantly better at capturing prey, to the point that they drove many species (including other predators and eventually themselves) to extinction D) Massive amounts of volcanic activity released tons of CO2, enough to significantly increase the temperature of the planet 30) The Permian extinction, which…

The eon comprising the Cambrian period up to the present is called the (1). It is divided into three eras: Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic. The Paleozoic era, first (2) appeared. Finally, the Cenozoic era is where (3), flourished, lasting up to this day.
The great apes made their first appearance in the fossil record between 23 and 2.6 MYA, which: represents the starting and ending dates for the Paleogene Period represents the starting and ending dates for the Cretaceous Period represents the starting and ending dates for the Jurassic Period represents the starting and ending dates for the Neogene Period represents the starting and ending dates for the Triassic Period
Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. In order to characterize the events that happened in this very long time scale, scientists have developed the geologic time scale. Here, the age of Earth is divided into (1), which in turn divided into (2), and are further subdivided into (3). The geologic time scale is so-called since the different subdivisions are based on the fossil record.
