triggered mass extinctions on the lands and in the oceans so profound that they define the geological boundary between the older Mesozoic Era‚ often called the "Age of Reptiles‚" and the modern Cenozoic Era‚ the "Age of Mammals." <br><li>On a finer scale‚ the extinctions define the boundary between the Cretaceous (geological symbol‚ "K")‚ and Tertiary ("T") periods. This mass extinction is usually referred to as the K-T extinctions. The dinosaurs became extinct during the K-T mass extinction. To examine

They use the Empire State Building as a platform for their big reveal of the project because of its global profile‚ thus anyone with a cell phone or access to the internet would know about it. I think these are fascinating methods of incorporating image dissemination‚ although somber images will likely not be enough to motivate

Theories For The Extinction of Dinosaurs Theory Evidence They’d been around too long and just ran out of ways to evolve. The dinosaurs were a group of organisms that lasted around 180 million years‚ evidence suggests that these organisms ran out of ways to evolve and as a result could not cope with changing conditions. They were poisoned by the newly evolving plant life which produced chemicals to protect themselves from predation. This theory is plausible as it ties in with the first one‚ as the

With advancing technology the fishing industry has catapulted its pace at capturing the treasures from our seas. With the high demand of the public consumers wanting shrimp and fresh seafood the supply of these species is diminishing. There are also fishing expeditions of fresh and saltwater that are being trapped

The reading and the listening both discuss about the distinction about the Steller’s sea cow which a huge marine mammal lived in the waters around Bering Island off the coast of Siberia in 1768. The reading supports there probobal theories. However‚ the listening disputes all the reading’s opinion. First‚ the reading thinks that because the sea cows are the good source of food‚ the overhunting by the native people cause the number of the sea cows was declined‚ while the listening rejects it by saying

The environment around the world is having a significant decline in its efficiency to provide clean and suitable resources for the world’s population.

But do we all know how extinction happens and what are its causes? Just like the topic shared by Mr. Vance Vredenberg concerning the unusual decline in frog’s population‚ extinction is really something anyone should be aware of. According to him‚ extinction of organisms may be caused by any of the following:

Millions of wonderous species existed at this time in the ocean and most of them will never appear again in earth’s history. In the geologic time
