Evolutionary history of horses The complete fossil record of the horse covers 60 million years. (Hall, 2011) One of the major changes during horse evolution was the reduction in the number of toes (MacFadden, 1994) . The earliest horse-like fossil was the Hyracotherium also known as Eohippus(the dawn horse). It was 50cm high, weighed around 23kg, had three toes on its back legs and 4 on its front (Hall, 2011). This decreased to three toes in Mesohippus and one in Pliohippus and modern horses.

Вступ The Greenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring process that aids in heating the Earth's surface and atmosphere. It results from the fact that certain atmospheric gases, such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane, are able to change the energy balance of the planet by absorbing longwave radiation emitted from the Earth's surface. Without the greenhouse effect life on this planet would probably not exist as the average temperature of the Earth would be a chilly -18°

caused by a bacterium Clostridium tetani. Infection generally occurs through wound contamination and often involves a cut or deep punctured wound. Tetanus is often associated with rust, but this concept is somewhat misleading. The C.Tetani is an Anaerobic bacteria which survives in an environment that lacks oxygen, thus with or without rust a person may have a tetanus once C. Tetani
