Zach Merto Maniscalco Geologic Time 01: Geologic Time Scale Reflection Questions 1. What scale did you use to make your model? The scale I used to make my model was 1:10. 2. How did you decide to use this scale? Show your calculations. By using the scale calculator‚ that was provided‚ I arrived at the 1:10 scale. I learned that using a scale calculator to “scale down” may take multiple attempts. I tried a few times before arriving at the 1:10 scale. First‚ I entered the scaling factor of 1:10‚ for

Change in Precipitation Ramon Pena BIO101 February 14‚ 2011 Dr. Richard Steiner Change in Precipitation Introduction This experiment will take course during a 300-year-time -period simulation. This experiment will consist of two islands‚ Darwin Island‚ Wallace Island and take only into account the bird population of these two islands. The parameter will stay the same‚ except for one variable; precipitation. I will record how the precipitation changes the beak size of the bird population

" basic human need to as who we are‚ where did we come from‚ how did we get here‚ why do we look the way we do?" The video started off by asking questions and stating facts about evolution saying that humans had just arrived on earth. Neil Shubin from Chicago University compared 4 billion years to an hour. He said the first 50 minutes was spent on microbes and single celled organisms‚ then animal life appeared in the last 10 minutes‚ and finally‚ human civilization‚ the last tenth of a second in

I am an idealistic person who strongly believes that it is the responsibility of we‚ men to learn about the earth we are living in. The geography that earth has offer to us can be discussed in a very wide scope. Since my childhood the interest and thirst for geo-related knowledge has led me to garner information about earth. I believe that our earth has mineral resources which In most cases are exploited and not properly managed. I believe that I would be able to do better research which would

Geologic Time Scale Introduction Understanding geologic time is critical to relating events in Earth’s history to those of today. Scientists use several forms of the geologic time scale to classify the age of objects and to become familiar with other events occurring simultaneously. In this lesson you will: · Examine how the geologic time scale summarizes Earth’s history · Analyze physical and biological changes that have occurred over time · Identify major events that occurred in geologic

PART C - Analyze and Conclude 1. After you created a geologic time scale with key events in Earth’s History‚ compare the number of events in each era. Did more Earth-shaping events occur early in Earth’s history or later on? Explain why. Based on my geologic time scale‚ there are three events in Precambrian Time‚ two events in Paleozoic Era‚ four events in Mesozoic Era and one event in Cenozoic Era. These events mostly occurred later on in Earth’s history. Mesozoic Era has the most events which

A simple rock formation located in British Colombia‚ Canada‚ may not seem like much to the untrained eye‚ but to Charles Doolittle Walcott and other paleontologists‚ it is a treasure trove of thousands of uniquely preserved fossils. Millions of years ago‚ North America rested on the equator. Earth was still too young for terrestrial plants and animals to inhabit the hostile land; instead‚ they dwelled in the sea where a vast array of organisms thrived. The fossil records beautifully preserved
