Mastodon

When people look at an elephant they see this enormous animal with large ears and a long trunk, but not many people realize the interesting features these amazing vertebrates have and how much this mammal has changed in the course of time. Vertebrates are chordate animals that possess a backbone or spinal column. All animals from the kingdom Animalia such as elephants, are vertebrates. The kingdom Animalia comes from the domain Eukarya, and the phylum Chordata is divided into six main classes: Mammals

inaugural address. The inaugural address ceremony was for former President Bill Clinton in January 1993. The poem's theme centers around evolution and unity. Angelou begins the poem “A Rock, A River, A Tree,Hosts to species long since departed,Marked the mastodon.” (Angelou,1). The rock, river, and tree are representations of the origin of life and Earth itself. Throughout the poem, Angelou relates each symbol to the promising future of the world. When describing the rock,it expresses how humans should use

Chapter one in the book, Human Geography, gives a timeline of the changes that have occurred since the creation of planet Earth. The author, John Rennie Short, explained how truly powerful the earth itself is. It has the ability to wipe out humanity. We often blame nature when natural disasters happen, but perhaps the human race may have something to do with the cause of environmental hazards like volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, and earthquakes. Short went into depth when talking about the nine

more about them and world before us. Saber toothed tiger is also known as the Smilodon. They mostly roamed around North and South America and the mid-Western. Smilodons’ diets consist of deer, buffalo, antelopes, camels , bison, tapirs, mammoths, mastodons, ungulates, toxodontrs, and litopterns. Even though the diet of this creatures is large they mostly prefered large herbivores like bison and camels.

When monosilicic acid and water travel throughout a plant’s root system and into the plant, the acid collects inside tissues. Developing microscopic inorganic silica molds; called phytoliths. Phytoliths are produced in almost every environment in the world, consisting of silicon dioxide, water, organic carbon, and trace elements of aluminum, iron, magnesium, and several others. The transparent molds can be one to over one-hundred micrometers in size. Phytoliths can serve the plant and us in several

The Paleozoic Era was the first in the Phanerozoic Eon. In the Paleozoic Era all life lived in or around water. This is because land was not sustainable for life yet.The Paleozoic Era had six different periods. The Era lasted about 542 million years but ended because of the Cambrian explosion. The first period in the Paleozoic Era was the Cambrian Period. The Cambrian Period was an important part of Earth’s history and formation. It was when mainly all of life first came around. The second period

In this paper, I will be summarizing the theory of overkill in chapter two of ‘’Twilight of the Mammoths’’, by Paul Martin. Before, I get into this started a little background information about who the author is. Martin was a scientist that studied forms of life existing in prehistoric times that was represented by the fossils of plants and animals. His overkill theory was that he argued, that humans were very much responsible of over hunting for the Late Pleistocene extinction of megafauna of mammoth

which we are living. It started by the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event which eliminated most dinosaurs and marine predators like Mosasurs except birds. Mammals evolved from small rat like creatures to dog sized predators later evolving to Mastodons. Mammoths evolved from small herbivore. First members of genus Homo known as Homo Habillis appears on fossil record. Neanderthals, the human ancestors die out with other species like Dodo, Wooly Rhino. Finally, all these resulted in evolution of

Hardships Cause Growth “A Rock, A River, [and] A Tree”(1) are three objects mentioned in Maya Angelou’s poem spoken at Bill Clinton’s inauguration ceremony, “On The Pulse Of Morning.” These objects remain through all of Earth’s history to represent our past and future. Sunlight is used to represent the unified future that is to come in this poem, and shadow is used to represent hatred, and ignorance. The title of the poem refers to this improved future, represented by a sunrise, which begins to

No less to Midas than the mendicant. No less to you now than the mastodon then." This destruction harmed the Earth that provides life for us, and divided the human race into categories of allies and enemies. She reminds the listeners that we are one, to be united in harmony, with good intentions to flourish and be
