Loch ness monster 1. State the claim Many people believe there is a monster in the Loch ness, Scotland. And this monster is a plesiosaur. Step 2: examine the evidence for the claim. There are many witness records of loch ness monster.
Species occur in over 400 in general. There are many more species of plant –eating dinosaurs named than carnivores because carnivores were fewer in number. Where did dinosaurs live? Dinosaurs lived everywhere on earth, including the South Pole, which had no ice then. Do we have any living dinosaurs today, like the coelacanth or Komodo dragon?
Nessie: Sea Creature or Creature of the Imagination Deep down in a Scottish lake named Loch Ness lays a monster...Or does it? For centuries there have been debates about whether a creature called the Loch Ness Monster, and affectionately referred to as Nessie, is truly a dinosaur-like sea creature or just a figment of people’s over active imagination. The earliest report of a monster associated with the vicinity of Loch Ness appears in the Life of St. Columba by Adomnán, written sometime during the 7th century (Carruth 33-35). Although various other alleged sightings have been made since that time most of are thought to be highly dubious and modern interest did not spark until July 22, 1933. On that date, George Spicer and his wife claimed to have saw “a most extraordinary form of animal” cross the road in front of their car (Campbell).
Yao Lin Research Paper The Effects of Human Activity on Marine Wildlife Earth is the only planet in the entire universe that currently has the capability to house living creatures. Considering that 70% of this planet is covered in water, one would think the creatures inhabiting the planet would treat the water with the upmost care. However, this is incorrect. Homo sapiens, the most intelligent species on the planet, tend to treat the oceans as a place to retrieve free raw materials and a personal waste disposal. During human’s 200,000 year existence on earth, this species has managed to completely undermine the ecosystem of the marine world by introducing alien species to a certain habitat, destroying marine habitats, over-harvesting fish, and polluting the waters.
In 1972 Mary Leakey’s son, Richard, and Alan Walker were looking for fossils near Lake Turkana in Kenya. One day a member of their team, Kamoya Kimeu, found a fragment of skull. Later they found more pieces. They proved to form the skeleton of a boy who had died around a million and a half years ago. Human, yes.
She is an Arctic Polar Bear, rescued from drowning by a research vessel headed back to the main land, is about 4 years old and weighs about 500 pounds. We hope that we can get her to put on more weight before releasing her back into her natural habitat” the guide said. “Why did she need to be saved from drowning?” asked a child, “she is a good swimmer.” “Well, she was swimming a very long way to find another place to hunt for her favorite food, the seals and sea lions. These animals have to have great areas of ice that they live on, so when the ice was not enough for the seals and sea lions, they had to move to find a place where they could live. When the other animals left, Connie had to follow them.
A multimillion dollar company discovers a new and innovative way to clone dinosaurs. They extract the blood of prehistoric mosquitos in fossilized “amber” to find dinosaur DNA. As a result, they manage to clone most of the species that were existent during the Jurassic period and open a theme park that is designed to be a tourist attraction. During a preview of the island, the park suffers a huge power outage, which allows the animals to break free and take over the island. Regardless of being a science fiction film, Jurassic Park seems to follow a more realistic plot compared to other science fiction films.
The implications of this biosphere are potentially as vast as the biosphere itself. The questions of the biosphere extent, survival, diversity and possible significance in the carbon cycle are now highly debated. This essay will attempt to assess these issues and consider the importance of the deep bacterial biosphere. The extent of the deep prokaryotic biospheres is still widely unknown; the bacteria can dwell in pores of sediment, fractures in hard rock and in fluid inclusion, therefore has the potential to occupy a huge subsurface area (Petersen 2000a). Many estimates suggest the biosphere holds up to 2/3rd of the microbial population (IOPD 2001), and between a 1/10 and 1/3 of the Earth’s entire biomass (IODP 2001, Petersen 2005, Webster et al.

Contents Page Front Cover ………………………………………………………………… 1 Table of Contents ………………………………………………………… 2 Introduction ……………………………………………………………….. 3 Scientific Background ………………………………………………….. 4 Argument for What Killed the Dinosaurs ……………………….. 8 Arguments Against this theory ……………………………………… 10 Introduction So then, the big question is what killed the dinosaurs? For around 200 million years dinosaurs had ruled the world, they had grown huge in every environment. Then around 65 million years ago, they suddenly disappeared from the fossil record. What lead to their extinction will be discussed in this case study.
aspects of a reptile that are more evolved than the aspects in an amphibian. The aspects of a reptile that are more evolved than the aspects in an amphibian are that reptiles can live without the presence of water; depend mostly of the sun; they have a hard skin; get bigger within the years; live in forests, jungles, or desert; eat meat; they have a long life; lay hard-shelled eggs in land; defend with its teeth and the sharp fangs; breath outside the water; move very fast with its long tail and long limbs, they don’t feed babies, and they have no fur to protect from cold. On the other hand, amphibians cannot live without the presence of water; have a soft, smooth and thin skin; their size is very small; eat insects and plants; have a short life span; lay jelly-like eggs in the water; they first breath in and then out of the water; and they move slower than reptiles with its short tail and limbs. Both amphibians and reptiles are cold blooded and that is why they both need to live in the tropics where there is hot weather to keep them warm. Millions of years ago, reptiles lived in swamps and were very small, oversized by amphibians.
