Permian

on to teach French as an adjunct professor at Brigham Young University-Idaho. When my family and I moved to Texas, I was able to teach English at the secondary level and to be a Head Coach. A Master of Arts in English from the University of Texas Permian Basin would give me the level of education and mentorship that I need to achieve my present goal of educating at the collegiate…

In the book Everything’s An Argument written by Andrea A. Lunsford and John J. Ruszkiewicz, a discourse community is defined as “a group of people who share common interests, goals, values, assumptions, knowledge of a topic… and discursive patterns.” In this paper, I’ll explain how I successfully became a member of my high school’s football team by building a strong relationship with my team mates, paying attention to detail, and going the extra mile throughout practice. I will also be able to…

The Eocene era is the second epoch in the Tertiary Period and lasted around 55.8 to 33.9 million years ago. In that era, the shape and location of the continents affected the general weather trends marked the Eocene epoch and affected the evolution of mammals, primates, and humans. There were some changes in the isotope content of the large marine carbon pool; they forcedly shifted into the smaller carbon pools in the atmosphere and on land. The carbon isotope compositions of marine carbonate…

been 5 mass extinctions. These mass extinctions are said to be a normal part  of life and might even be an important factor for life on Earth. The main mass extinctions that have been discovered are the Ordovician Mass Extinction, the Devonian, Permian, Triassic, and the Cretaceous Mass Extinction. Scientists now even believe that we are not only part of the problem but the main subjects of the sixth mass extinction caused by Homo sapiens (humans). Andrew Jones had even stated that…

standard methods to measure the magnitude of extinctions: simple counting, percent extinctions, total and per family extinction. From the percent extinction measurement, he identified five deadly mass extinctions at Late Ordovician, Late Devonian, Late Permian, Late Triassic, and Late Cretaceous. These five big mass extinctions were mentioned also by Erwin (2001) and Barnosky et al. (2011). Barnosky et al. (2011) measured the big five mass extinctions based on proportional rate (number of…

Extinction is necessary for the Earth’s natural order. It is used as the world 's way of weeding out the weaker species that are unable to adapt or evolve to environmental change thus consequently dying out to make room for the newer better-adapted species which is key in providing the earth with a more sustainable and better-equipped equilibrium. With five mass extinctions notched into the earth 's belt it can hardly be denied that evolution and extinction are anything but a necessary, yet dark…

the planet. The roots of the newly grown plants released nutrients into the ocean, which sucked all of the oxygen from the ocean and suffocating all of the ocean’s living organisms. The third mass extinction, which occurred during the end of the Permian period, also known as the “the great dying” was identified as the worst extinction event ever nearly wiped out life on earth. A series of natural disasters were the cause of this event. A deadly eruption near Siberia, sprayed carbon dioxide into…

Midwives (delivering babies) She rushes into the room as the lady was crying for help because of the sharp pains he was outside crying he didn’t know why his wife was bleeding. The doctor calls all midwives in the room the pregnancy was a complicated one they where going left and right trying to figure out what was wrong with the lady as she is lying in pain crying really loud .Everything calmed down for a few minutes the doctor calls all midwives into another room .Heartbroken he says…

Number 1:The Ordovician Silurian extinction This extinction happened about 439 million years ago because of a drop in sea levels as glaciers formed. An ice age has been blamed for the cause of the extinctions. A large ice sheet in the southern hemisphere caused climate change and a decrease in sea levels. A combination of this lowering of sea level caused a reduction in ecospace on continental shelves, and the cooling caused by the glaciation itself are some of the big factors for the…

Summary: Three asteroids have the potential to hit Earth in the next millennia. The first two possibilities are asteroids entitled 2009 FD and RQ36, and could hit Earth in between 2175 and 2199. The asteroid 2009 FD has a one in three-hundred and sixty-five chance of hitting, which doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it it does hit, our descendants will be in trouble. RQ36 has the likliness of hitting Earth by a one in one-thousand and seven-hundred chance, but even though it seems an unlikely…
