Devastating impact

to the point of harming other species. The human race’s tendency to destroy an environment greatly impacts the plants and animals residing there. To be more specific, “Human destruction of animal and plant habitat...appear to be having a major impact on extinction rates” (Wilson). Environmental degradation and habitat destruction are both key players in the extinction of many world species. The impact people have had on the environment is much bigger than most anticipate, as they both destroy and intervene

These findings supported my hypothesis. In the case of the first hypothesis of where the more time a person spent towards their outside stressors, the greater impact it would have on school work. The results showed that participants, who contributed more time to outside responsibilities, were more likely to feel as if they were being negatively impacted by it. There is one outlier to this in the case of the one student, mother who works 40 hours. This woman was the eldest participant, which may

There are many theories of how they were killed, such as; an asteroid impact, volcanic activity, climate change, and eggs that took too long to hatch. Their extinction allowed humans to rule the Earth in their place. One of the most widely accepted theories is the asteroid. In section 5, “Death of the Dinosaurs”, of a book written by Donald Prothero, he states that, “By 1990, the debate was no longer whether the impact occurred-that was clearly established” (Prothero). An article in TIME magazine

Creation v. Evolution: Did Dinosaurs Really Die Millions Of Years Ago? Evolutionary scientists say that dinosaurs died millions of years before man had evolved. But does the evidence support that? Could they not have lived alongside man, as so many ancient stories suggest? From the unfossilized T-Rex bone to the stories of encounters with dragons to Mokele-Mbembe in Africa are some of the pieces of evidence that support this view that goes along with the Creationist model of a Young Earth of approximately

I found a recent article on Astronomy Magazine entitled, “New Study Find Martian Volcano’s Last Eruption”. The article discusses how new research from NASA shows a large volcano known as Arsia Mons has been inactive for about 50 million years. This was at the time of the extinction of dinosaurs. Arsia Mons, which is located just south of Mars’ equator, the last eruption was in the bowl-shaped depression on top of the volcano known as the caldera. The caldera is roughly 68 miles across and has plenty

since this incident compared to the life span of the Earth. And yet it is still unclear how this extinction occurred. Paleontologists to this day, debate on how this extinction occurred. A major factor on what caused this extinction to occur was an impact of an asteroid. Another theory such as sea level regression is considered to be the blame for the extinction. Sea level regression is the drop of sea levels which aids to explain the marine mass extinction, however

Waltzing to Winton Winton is a small town smack bang in the centre of outback Queensland station country. When travelling to Winton don’t be surprised if you find yourself humming along to ‘Waltzing Matilda’ - this country town is home to the iconic Australian tune which was written by 'Banjo' Paterson while he was holidaying at a local station. Given this musical heritage and the town’s remote Central Queensland location, it is only fitting that it is the setting for the biennial Outback Festival

This challenge begins with ancient sunlight trapped in deep time, condensed into fossilised life, and cooked under the heat and pressure of kilometres of rock. From the ‘age of dinosaurs’, some 200 million years ago (mya), methane - a greenhouse gas many times more potent than carbon dioxide - lay sequestered, safely locked away from the atmosphere three kilometers down in shale, two in sandstones, and one in coal seams, as life evolved overhead. The gas was there when mammals (205 mya) and

A clear analysis shows that extinction has occurred so much, that they do not only list the animals, they have to list a broader and more general title, meaning extinction is so worst that writing the names of the animals' name will be too much, and writing the whole broad title will include thousands of animals under one title. With 41% amphibian, 26% of mammal species and 13% of birds. It is extremely alarming. And the extinction only includes the species that has been found and labeled by us,

It has always been a worry of researchers that at any moment an asteroid may hit Earth and cause significant damage. Only recently (the past hundred years or so) have people been able to make equipment powerful enough to detect asteroids coming toward Earth and orbiting Earth. This is a very important step in preventing damage to our fragile planet. One of the first asteroids orbiting Earth discovered was 1 Ceres by Piazzi in 1801 (Gehrels, 1999). Since all of the asteroids back in the 1800’s
