Summer is finally here. That’s something you'd think I’d be excited about. Well, not exactly. I haven’t been to school in months. No one has. This incident caused so much havoc in our small little town, so no one cares about school or work anymore. Everyone’s too busy trying to survive the outbreak instead. What happened to cause our quiet little town complete mayhem? Dinosaurs. Over grow lizards. Apparently the scientists have never seen Jurassic Park. It’s a clear reason of why you don’t try and bring extinct animals back to life. They’re dead for a reason. Anyways though, they just so happened to make the most dangerous dinosaurs first. They ended up growing faster than expected and were fully grown in 2 months. So now, there's just a bunch
Ray Bradbury used figurative language to describe the Tyrannosaurus Rex in “A Sound of Thunder.’’ Ray Bradbury compared the legs to pistons, this means that the Tyrannosaurus Rex has strong legs. He compared it’s eyes to ostrich eggs, this means that the dinosaur has big eyes. He also compared muscles to thick ropes, this means that the dino has big thighs. Figurative language was used to make the story more realistic, and make the story come to life.
Researchers and scientists have constructed extensive research on dinosaur’s extinction. Speculation instead of real evidence seems common in most theories about the dinosaurs’ extinction. However, Jay Gould’s essay “Sex, Drugs, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs” is the complete opposite of speculation over evidence. Rather, Gould uses the mix of persuasive techniques, such as rhetorical questions, logos, along with profound evidence to not only disapprove of other theories but convince readers of his place on the dinosaur’s extinction.
From the time that we’re young and claiming all the toys for ourselves to the time that we’re old and secretly, or maybe not so secretly, wanting the biggest piece of pie, it is human nature to only care about ourselves. Today’s society drills into our minds that we should “look out for number one,” but in Ray Bradbury’s science fiction story A Sound of Thunder, he tells the reader the complete opposite. In the exciting story about hunters who avoid making an impact on Time and History when they go back in time to shoot dinosaurs, he clearly shows that when people are self-centered, they will do things that hurt themselves and others.
Imagine a world where dinosaurs exist again… a Jurassic World. Should scientists bring back extinct species, like that of the dinosaurs? De-extinction is no longer a thing of science fiction; scientists have been trying to clone a Wooly Mammoth since the summer of 2011. Sadly scientists have said that the actual dinosaurs, like that of a T-Rex, have been dead for too long and therefore cannot be brought back. De- Extinction is could be great thing and it would greatly increase the planets biodiversity, it would be good for the environment, and it would be good for the economy, because who would not pay to see a dinosaur in real life?
In the passage, the author claims that the Edmontosaurus migrated south in order to survive. However, the lecture refutes the view in the reading and argues that the arguments are not convincing.
aprosuchus is an extinct genus of mahajangasuchid crocodyliform. It is known from a single nearly complete skull collected from the Upper Cretaceous Echkar Formation of Niger. The name means "boar crocodile" from the Greek κάπρος, kapros ("boar") and σοῦχος, souchos ("crocodile") in reference to its unusually large caniniform teeth which resemble those of a boar.
In contrast to endotherms, the ectotherms such as butterflies regulate their body temperature by adapting to the environment. This affects their effectiveness in the environment because they must accommodate with whatever their surroundings provide. Much research was shown by evidence how the honey bees survive low temperatures, but scientists are still hypothesizing on how they deal with higher temperature when evidence shows that honey bees do not stop working in hot temperatures. Scientists compared the honey bees to the bumble bees because they hypothesize that the honey bees function similarly to the bumble bees. Because the bumble bees have large abdomens, they are able to radiate and release their heat and cool down effectively (“How Honeybees Keep Their Cool”). Different kind of land organisms have different functions to how they operate at different temperatures. When observing the honeybee, scientists shows how the honey bees adapt to their immediate changes in the environment comparing to the other animals such as the bumble bees, birds, and
One of the main arguments that Darwinsts use is the argument that fossils are evidence of evolution. I have gathered information from Your Inner Fish and internet sources. I found an article online that says in a nutshell; there 's two lines of evidence for evolution. The first line of evidence concerns the order in which fossils are found buried. Fossils are generally found buried in a sequential order. The first fossilized fish appear buried below the first fossilized amphibians which appear below the first fossilized reptiles which appear below the first fossilized birds and mammals. This is consistent with the Darwinian model of origins which says that birds and mammals evolved from reptiles which evolved from amphibians which evolved from fish. Not everything about the order in which fossils are found supports Darwin’s theory however. The basic structure of known
The warm blood horses are not as heavy built as the cold bloods. They are calmer and have a better disposition than the hot bloods. In the beginning the warm bloods were used for riding and light work. Now they are used mostly for riding and competition.
There would obviously be similarities between two Inheritance Cycle books, authored by Christopher Paolini; but who would think that there would be a correlation between the Inheritance Cycle books and Jurassic Park, which was written by Michael Crichton. Redemption and revenge, struggle for power and control, and good vs. evil (man vs. man) are just some of the themes brought to the table with these books.
The reading states that critics have opposed the idea that Sinosauropteryx was a feathered dinosaur and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor states that the evidence about Sinosauropteryx had feathers is very strong and the critics are unconvincing and refutes each of them.
Snakes are reptiles. They are cold-blooded animals with the amazing ability of raising and lowering their body temperatures to adapt to the environment.
Mammals have fur or hair completely all over their bodies, and reptiles are covered in scales for protection. Mammals are the only animals that have fur and it grows from the outer layer of their skin. Mammals skin contain sweat glands, their skin releases oil, and it helps keep their fur waterproof. Their hair/fur offer protection against rain and cold. Reptiles skin does not contain sweat glands, which means their skin can easily dry out in an exposed environment. Reptile scales act as a protective layer to help prevent water loss from their bodies. Mammals are warm-blooded animals and reptiles are cold-blooded animals. Mammals are endothermic which means they can produce and control their body heat internally. Reptiles are ectothermic, they use their resources such as the sun to get
As stated in “The Big Bang Theory” theme song, our universe as we know it started because of one big explosion. This explosion was caused by a supernova 13.7 billion years ago. When the big bang happened, all of the elements that were in the star were expelled outward. Around .4 billion years after the big bang, first generation stars started to form, these are the stars that created most of our elements.They were made of period two, three, and four elements. Like every star, these stars ran out of energy and exploded making new elements that are found on our periodic table. They created period four, five, six, and seven elements. 4.6 billion years ago a protoplanetary disc was created. Around this the elements started
