Evolution doesn't work according to any plan or change in any particular direction. Sometimes it leads to the rise of more compl

ex organisms, but usually it leads nowhere and an organism dies out. We call a species that dies out extinct. Most of the organisms that have evolved in the past are now extinct. Extinctions take place when the environment changes and one or more species cannot adapt. Sometimes the environment changes because a better-suited organism arrives to compete. Sometimes climates change. Parts of North Africa, now covered in desert, were once home to rivers, lakes and plants. Parts of Antarctica now buried in ice once grew tropical plants. Evidence suggests that giant meteors have crashed into the Earth at various times in history, causing mass extinctions. It is believed that such a crash 70 million years ago made the dinosaurs extinct. Which of the following is a false statement? A Some deserts we know today once had rivers and lakes. B Mass extinctions may have been caused by meteors. C Very few species have ever gone extinct. D Sometimes, species evolve to be more complex.

(a) if the seawater carbonate ion concentration is 270 ?mol/kg, what is the approximate rate of calcification, and approximately
Travka [436]
Using the graph provided with the question, we are able to find that that for a concentration of 270 micromol per kilogram, the calcification rate is 20 mmol calcium carbonate per meter squared per day.

Using this calcification rate,
30 = 20 * 1 * days

days = 1.5

The deposition will require 1.5 days.

Mark turned quickly, pivoting on his right foot, while he was playing basketball. He felt a sudden, sharp pain in his knee and f
Contact [7]
<span>The correct answer is that he has injured one of the tendons or ligaments that help keep his knee in place, connecting it to the surrounding muscle and bone. As a result of this injury, his knee is no longer connected to the muscle and bone, thus it wobbled sideways when he started walking. He needs to go to a doctor immediately who can fix his knee so as to prevent further complications - he just needs his knee to be set in place again.</span>
