on the other hand believe that there were processes in the past that occurred at rates scales, and intensities greater than possible today. The Catastrophists belief that there was a great worldwide flood in the days of Noah, which account for the fossil records as they are. Is the Earth in which we live a young earth or and old earth? Is it billions of years old or only thousands? It really depends on who you listen to, and what your worldview is! Old Earth View The Uniformitarianist belief that

validity is fossils. Through fossil dating, hominoid fossils, and, evolution has become the theory accepted by the majority of those in the scientific forefront. Evolution is supported through fossil records. The study of the sequence of occurrence in rocks reveals the relative time in which organisms lived. This technique shows that one layer of rock is older or younger than another. Later through the discovery of radioactivity, scientists were given the opportunity to learn the age of fossils and rocks

require fossil evidence of intermediary stages in a species’ evolution, with different specimen of an evolving species exhibiting ancestral traits and an increasing number of derived traits leading towards the present form. Paleontologists, however, had long noted that the fossil record was marked by long periods of stasis (on a geological scale) with the sudden appearance of new species, though these gaps were interpreted as simply missing information (Gould and Eldredge 1993). While fossil preservation

EL HEAVY METAL: UN MÓN D’HOMES? INTRODUCCIÓ- HIPÒTESI DE RESPOSTA Aquest treball l’he realitzat amb el propòsit de resoldre la pregunta següent: Per què hi ha poca presència de la dona als grups de heavy metal? Realitzant una hipòtesi principal abans d’iniciar una possible resposta a aquesta complexa pregunta, en la meva opinió tot el conjunt ideològic que s’atorga al heavy metal ha tingut des de sempre connotacions

Over time it became a tropical rainforest. It then was cut down for farmland fifty years ago. While digging around we found sixteen mammalian skeletons that were closely related. We examined the humerus and femur

Jason Billing Mrs.Werle AP Biology Summer Assignment Chapter 1 – Finding Your Inner Fish 1. Explain why the author and his colleagues chose to focus on 375 million year old rocks in their search for fossils. Be sure to include the types of rocks and their location during their paleontology work in 2004. In 365 million year old rocks the amphibians had characteristics that were not similar to fish, but in 385 million they found fish that were dissimilar to amphibians. The scientists then looked

Since the first dinosaur bone was unearthed and mounted in a museum for the world to view, people have been fascinated by the gigantic ancient beasts that once ruled the world. Soon movies brought the dry dinosaur bones to life, featuring dinosaurs as the biggest villains of the film industry. America’s love affair with lost worlds, super-sized villains, and industry leading special effects, helped to make dinosaurs on the big screens biggest stars. Dinosaur movies have captivated our imagination

of potential and kinetic energy working at the same time. When the pendulum swings upward all the energy is considered potential energy, when it begins its downward swing it gains kinetic energy and loses potential energy (The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2008). Another way would be atoms being absorbed or emit photons of light. Examples of this are photothermal, photoelectric, and photochemical. The last way is Nuclear reaction with examples of fission and fusion (Debian Gnu/Linux, 1999-2011). Technology
