Doomsday event

In order to organise a large event such as the Rhythm & Vines Music festival, the event coordinators have to carefully construct a plan which ensures that they have enough resources to accommodate and supervise the influx of people at their festival. To have a successful event, one must create the perfect plan to ensure that the festival returns annually and does not go out of business. The most crucial process of the event is the process of planning and decision making, particularly because if…

Dinosaurs ruled the earth for millions of years before the human species inhabited the planet, and thankfully for the human race, they became extinct. Ultimately, only a major catastrophe could completely dismantle an entire species, let alone a body of dinosaurs. Consequently, the debacle on the causes of dinosaur extinction have baffled the minds of paleontologists for centuries. Geologist and zoologist Stephen Jay Gould published “Sex, Drugs, Disasters, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs,” to…

INTRODUCTION The Permian-Triassic extinction is seen as one of the largest mass extinction in the history of life. According to the McGraw-Hill Dictionary (2003) it can be defined as a mass extinction event marking the division between the Permian Period and the Triassic Period as well as the border between the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic eras. It is estimated to have triggered the extinction of 90% or more of all ocean species, approximately 70% of land vertebrates, and significant extinctions of…

1. Explain why Earth and other planets were not solid when they formed during the beginning of the Precambrian, approximately 4,600 million years ago (MYA) The Precambrian period was also known as the Hadean and the reason why it was not solid yet was that the planets of the solar system were just starting to form and they were not even solid rocks yet they were just starting to form from dust particles. 2. What was this particular time period called? This particular period was called the…

curious just by the thought of what Kolbert meant by a sixth extinction. She claims that this extinction could be the most devastating yet due to humans, and gives different descriptions of species that have gone extinct either because of natural events or because of humans. The book covers the previous…

death, but immediately afterward, the story jumps eleven years later and becomes bogged down by intricate explanations of how Monica can adjust the asteroids trajectory. These jumps not only make it difficult with the reader to fully engage with the events taking place, it also robs the narrative tension built from the first one hundred pages of the story. Furthermore, the prologue leads the reader to believe that the apocalypse was preordained, but it turns out that scene was foreshadowing…

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…

promote student events. Some of these events included student dances, holiday/seasonal games at lunch, fun runs, fundraisers and Kilmer Spirit Week. First, we would discuss what materials and how much time we would need to pull an event off, such as a dance, and plan activities to go with that event. Then, we would make signs and advertisements to promote the event. Next, we would execute the plan. This often involved decorating the setting, gathering materials, monitoring the event (running…

Brontosaurus Othniel Charles Marsh discovered and named the Brontosaurus (Greek “thunder lizard”), a four-legged dinosaur in 1879. With at least three known species, this dinosaur lived in the Morrison Formation of present day Western US, during the late Jurassic Period and became extinct by the end of the period. Perhaps one of the most controversially classified dinosaurs, paleontologists have reclassified the Brontosaurus several times since its discovery to an extent that some quarters…

how it was millions of years ago. The Earth has gone through many changes and events though time. There are five major events in history that have changed the world. Without these five mass extinctions who knows what Earth would have looked like, and if humans would even be alive. In the ordovician period 439 million years ago there was a mass extinction that wiped out 89% of life on Earth. There was two major events that occured; glaciation and falling sea levels. In the ordovician period…
