We have learned many things about the dinosaurs mass extinction and how these forces can impact us today. Such as‚ the speed (velocity)‚ mass‚ force‚ and the lack of air friction of the object that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago was so great that it caused a collision with the Earth great enough to cause an extinction. Potential and kinetic energy are also involved in this. These forces and more such as‚ gravity‚ momentum‚ friction and more that we now know about can

The Endangered Species Act was written to protect and recover the at risk species and the ecosystems that those animals depend on. It was passed in 1973 in hopes of recognizing the natural resources are very important to our nation and people.

As Ralph Waldo Emerson said‚ you cannot grow unless you try to go on further than what you have already done‚ growing comes with time and effort and if you were to not try and grow your life would be easy for that but you would not increase any

To what extent we can say animals have language? Are animals capable of language?

comes from the word for origin’ in Greek. Genes are sections of DNA that determine the structure of a protein. They are the foundation of all life on earth. They form and decide the characteristics of every living creature and the genes that exist today are there because they have been successfully reproduced in the past. The DNA that determines the person that we grow into is created from half of each of our parents DNA. In the process of evolution certain genes have been eradicated in natural selection

Of all the species that have existed on Earth 99 percent have gone extinct and even fewer make it into the fossil record and a very small fraction of those that fossilize are actually found even partially complete. Even if all of them did fossilize many would be too hard dig for many of them. And also it is highly unlikely that most would be found complete‚ due to the number of natural disasters and processes that have happened from the animal’s death to whenever it is discovered.
