How did pangaea breakup

pangaea cause of breaking up was a rift that developed between eastern U.S. and Western Africa

All Earths land mass was located in a single continent Pangaea during which period

Jurassic

What is a sentence for trophic level

The most accurate method is to use a pyramid of energy to show the transfer of energy between trophic levels

Which animal would have the greatest chance of survival

one that fed through a food web

What likely contributed to the extinction that marks the end of the Mesozoic Era

meteorite collision

What group of reptiles exemplified by the fossil Archaeopteryx led to the evolution of

Archaeopteryx is considered the 1st Bird.

It was from a long line of Avian dinosaurs which are very very closely related to the Raptor family of Therapod Dinosaurs.

The morphology of avian dinosaurs and modern birds are so similar many scientist class birds as avian dinosaurs.

Algae can survive on the seafloor only in

shallow areas....novanet

According to the precambrian rock record much of earth's first free oxygen combined with what

Iron

The use of light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into energy-rich glucose molecules are called what

photosynthesis

What title best describes the current geologic age

age of mammals

Why did many plants die at the end of the Mesozoic Era

Based on the popular theory that the dinosaurs went extinct due to the impact of a large asteroid, scientists think that the asteroid caused large amounts of debris to fly into the atmosphere, blocking out the sun. This caused global temperatures to drop, thus freezing the plants. In addition, without the sun the plants could not carry on photosynthesis, which caused them to die.

What major geographic event took place during the Mesozoic Era

Cretaceous

jurassic

triassic

Why do scientists think that birds evolved from dinosaurs

Many dinosaurs have birdlike traits. The basic body plan of theropods (the two legged carnivores) is somewhat birdlike. However some of these are especially birdlike. Among these are Archeopteryx, which is widely attributed to be the earliest known bird and clearly has traits of maniraptoran theropods. A number of maniraptorans such as Velociraptor are now known to have had large, well-developed feathers. One relative, Microraptor, is believed to have been able to glide between trees.

Which term best describes energy transfer between trophic levels

when energy is transferred to a higher trophic level some of the energy is trued into heat and is released
