Extinction events

Geekfeazels 1. Did any of the original “types” become extinct? Explain and discuss which traits those groups had and what caused the extinction. (3 pts.) The geekfeazel “types” that went extinct were the red, large-eyed, and short-necked geekfeazels (group four) and the red, large-eyed, and long-necked geekfeazels (group three). The short-necked type went extinct first, because the first three rounds targeted large-eyed geekfeazels and red geekfeazels. After these rounds the short-necked went

(See Fig 1). Some drown, and some are simply cut off from food and starve. We have already pushed many animals to extinction through deforestation, poaching, and other harmful activities. Global warming could be the final shove, sending the Earth’s biosphere into chaos. Animals will die off in droves, especially those that rely on large populations of prey for food. In mass extinctions like this, as we have seen time and time again through fossil records from times of mass die-offs, the animals at

The Sixth Extinction is a chapter found in a book titled, “The Sixth Extinction An Unnatural History by Elizabeth Kolbert”. This chapter addresses extinction or the termination of a group. The story takes place in The Panamanian town of El Valle de Anton. The story focuses on the toxic species called the golden frog. For some unknown reason(s), the golden frogs began to disappear. In an effort to save the golden frogs a woman by the name of Kolbert decided that she would rescue them to save

1. Sedimentary rocks are made from different pieces of rocks and sediments. This happened through the process of erosion and weathering. Every now and then animals get buried under sediments and formed with the rock. As the tissues decay, the bone stay preserved in the rock because of the carbon that release from the corpse. Sedimentary rocks can tell scientists about the fossil's habitat by the size and formation of the rock. For example, one direction ripple marks indicate that the rock formed

The Riversleigh fossil site is a part of the Boodjamulla National Park. The site was World Heritage listed in 1994. The fossil record of Riversleigh's habitats have greatly strengthened our understanding of evolution, origins, and the history of organisms. Many of the most abnormal and phenomenal organisms in the Australian fossil record have been discovered at the site. The sight contained about 30,000 footprints from a stampede involving nearly 200 dinosaurs. It sits on the south-western boundary

Unit 1: Antarctica Antarctica is another name for the South Pole. It is also another continent. A long time ago, the pole was close to the equator. That was 500 million years ago. It was once joined to Australia; then all the land on earth started to move. Antarctica moved away from Australia and went south. Dinosaur’s bones were once found at the South Pole. Do you know why? Dinosaurs lived there millions of years ago. This was before it moved away from the equator. About 98% of this continent is

My name is Alan, and I am one of the few living earth humans... I am a human who came from planet earth, and much like yours. However it all changed when we found out that planet earth humans were duplicates, and so what did we do, well we fought. However not much damage was done to our enemies, while on the other hand we lost 90% of our population. Then as a form of punishment, we were sent to the dark universe, or what the dominating humans called. Now you are probably wondering that am I even

The Ice Age was the mark of the extinction of life in that time. What was the end result would lead to many discoveries by man that is still to this day yielding more data, information on what happened in that time. Living organisms being trapped in the asphalt for 11,000 to 50,000 years being perfectly preserved in rocks. The oldest of the fossils according to La Brea Tar Pits museum, that dire wolves, saber-toothed cat from Pit 91 each dated back to 44,000 years old. An coyote from Pit A is dated

Comparing and contrasting the mass extinction and the current extinction. Scientist say that we are causing the 6th extinction. An extinction is when all of a certain animal or plant is gone and nothing left of it. In this essay I will be comparing and contrasting these 2 extinctions. Contrasting the mass extinction and the current extinction. The first big thing is that we are causing the 6th one because all the other ones before it was caused by natural causes and this one is manmade like on the

Amongst all of the biological events in history, the Cambrian explosion was one of the most spectacular because it gave rise to a vast majority of different animals. This event occurred at the beginning of the Paleozoic era. The Explosion is said to have occurred between 540- 542 million years ago. This event is termed as an explosion because of the gigantic outburst of different species. The radiation brought about diversity, which is an important factor and advantage in the ecosystem, environmental
