history. They even said that a comet called the Shoemaker-Levy 9 sped towards Jupiter at sixty kilometers a second. That is really fast! It also told about how sixty-five million years ago, it is thought that one measly asteroid could have killed dinosaurs that inhabited the earth. During the middle of the story, it talks about how to express the difference between diverse varieties of rocks in space. Some rocks like comets, asteroids, and meteoroids. Today scientists are spot different…

ever gone back in time, back to when dinosaurs were alive? The setting of the stories A Sound of Thunder, by Ray Bradbury and Being Prey, by Val Plumwood, share a lot of resemblances, as well as differences. One example of how the settings are alike is that both of the main characters take place in a setting that is dangerous. In A Sound of Thunder, the setting took place in the past, where the characters had time traveled. They traveled to a time where dinosaurs were still present in the…

For this project, I read, “The End Of Dinosaurs, Chicxulub Crater and Mass Extinctions.” This book began talking about the five mass extinctions and what a mass extinction was. It stated that the best studied of all mass extinctions was the fifth mass extinction. This is because it was the closest to us in time, and it wiped out roughly 70% of all species. This lead to the books next topic, how this mass extinction occurred. In the beginning, most scientists were gradualists, meaning they…

To begin with, 65 million years ago was the start of the Paleocene epoch that was the establishment of the tertiary period on earth. Due to the extinction of the dinosaurs during the previous period, there was a heap amount of mammals accumulating and evolving from their original size and aspects. Many forms of animals existed big, small, and of many different sizes; rapidly increasing in numbers by reproduction. In this epoch, carnivores were very large in numbers. For example, a bird that was…

Grant returns to the island on what he thought was a vacation however; he later discovers that he is helping the couple find their lost child Eric. Once Eric is found the group has to avoid getting eaten by dinosaurs and escape the island. Due to the actions of one individual stealing a set of dinosaur eggs escape is made all the more difficult when they realize they are being hunted by raptors to retrieve their stolen eggs. Eventually the group…

unlike any other turtle ever recorded. Since Earth was somewhat wet and hot and full of rivers back then, it was suitable for the turtles. Scientists believe that this well extinct turtle possibly lived with dinosaurs such as tyrannosaurs, armored ankylosaurus, and giant duck-billed dinosaurs. After the discovery, Jerry Golden, a volunteer fossil preparator at the Natural History Museum of Utah, is now preparing to physically reproduce the specimen. Sometimes, fossils are our key to the past.…

across, hit Earth on the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. It caused a huge explosion and left a crater that is about 185 kilometres across. This asteroid impact is commonly known to be the reason for the extinction of three quarters of the dinosaurs. (4) The asteroid soared through the sky at more than 40 times the speed of sound. (6) The earth moves through space in its orbit around the sun at 107,000 kilometres per hour. This makes the likelihood of an object to hit into Earth…

vanishing since the start of life on our planet. Truth be told, most species that have ever lived on Earth are presently wiped out or never again living. Right around 50 percent of plant species and 75 percent of creature species, including the dinosaurs, wound up terminated. Species are constantly vanishing. This is the aftereffect of infections, rivalry from different species or the regular change in their atmosphere. At the point when people turned into the most capable species, the…

estimated 60-75 percent of all the species on earth 66 million years ago, most famously the dinosaurs. It was the end of the Cretaceous period and the Mesozoic Era and created the beginning of the Cenozoic Era that is still happening today. Geologically speaking this extinction happened in a very short amount of time. Although the most well known species to go extincted during this time was the dinosaurs there were also many other species that went during this time. On land many different types…

happens which is extinction of their own kinds. This issue is what most human just ignore about and they tend not to deal with it. History of Earth shows that there are five major extinction events and the fifth extinction is the one that killed every dinosaur on the Earth surface as a result of an asteroid. Earth is now in the eve of sixth extinction as humanity has become the asteroid that would drive species to extinction even quickly than they should be. Marine species especially cannot run…
