The reading states that several arguments support the migration hypothesis of Edmontosaurus. However, the professor stated that the arguments in the reading passage about the edmontosaur migration are not convincing. First, the reading states that edmontosaur must migrate to find food. The professor opposed this point by saying that edmontosaur should not migrate to find food because the North Slope was warmer at the time when edmontosaurs lived than today. The professor added that there is 24 hours of sunshine during the summer in the arctic region that can give good conditions for the plant to grow, and that can give enough amount of dead plant for the edmontosaurs to feed on during the winter. Second, the reading states that edmonotsaurs
lived in herds further supports the migration hypothesis. The professor countered this point by saying that there are a lot of animals, which live in herds and do not migrate, but there are many reasons for animals to live in herds like to get further protection. The professor gave an example of rosa elk, which is an animal, lives in the western United State in herd and do not migrate. Therefore, the professor concluded that edmonosaurs live, in herds, do not prove that they migrated. Third, the reading states that edmonosaurs were physically capable of migrating long distances. The professor refuted this point by saying that juvenile edmonosaurs could not migrate for long distance. The professor added that adults' edmonosaurs could not leave juvenile edmonosaurs alone and migrate because juvenile edmonosaurs can not survive alone. Therefore, the professor stated that adults edmonosaurs stayed with their juvenile and did not migrate.

Recently in an article from Elasmo.com, recognition for Mike Everhart’s discoveries has been noticed. Paleontologists and Archeologists in Western Kansas “have been finding sources of some of the best Cretaceous marine fossils that have ever been found anywhere in the world.” (Everhart, #1). These fossils, though interesting and vast, have pointed a lot of questions to how and when Kansas was under sea level. From my research, I have found that the only explanations to these issues and debates are the discoveries found consisting of both the archaic sharks and plesiosaurs.
The reading states that critics have opposes the idea that Sinosauropteryx was a feathered dinosaur and the author provides three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that critics are unconvincing and refutes each of the authors' reasons.

In the early 1800’s, a new discovery that left paleontologists in awe was the fossil finding of the immeasurable amount of species of reptiles, Ichthyosaurs. Greek for “fish lizards”, these fossils were found all over the world. Because these large aquatic reptiles migrated just as whales do today, paleontologists have had the amazing advantage of collecting fascinating bone fragments throughout the past 177 years. Ichthyosaurs swam the ocean life from about 245 million until about 90 million years ago- approximately the same time dinosaurs ruled the land. The earliest Ichthyosaur fossil findings were in parts of Canada, China, Japan, and possibly Thailand. Countless fossils came from coatings of limestone produced out of the ocean-floor ooze that was predominantly superior at preserving very well facts of the creatures it digested (Perkins 2).

The climate of the tundra is characterized by harsh winters. The average temperature in the tundra area is about –27 degrees. But what is even worse are the long night. At nights the lowest temperture recorded was –67.36 degrees. There are even times in the year when the sun doesn’t come up for days. In the tundra we have little snow and even less rainfall. The rainfall is about a quarter inch in a yearly rainfall. Even though the tundra’s winters are long a harsh there summers are the shortest season of all. Do to the terrible weather and climate in the tundra their animals and plant life is very limited.
Migration Photograph by José Hernández-Claire and The Red Umbrella by Christina Diaz Gonzalez both show the same subject. MP and RU both share the subject of family separation. Even though they both share some techniques to portray the story , they also use very different techniques to express their feelings.

In 1996, the Asian Longhorn Beetle made its way into the New York and New Jersey creating the decimation of the forests. The Asian Longhorn Beetle has so far caused the cutting of over 10,000 trees in New Jersey, and quarantine of 109 miles in New York today . The spread of this foreign beetle has created great impacts on the environment. The Asian Longhorn Beetle is an invasive specie, a harmful specie from another locations, mainly other countries, that has ended up in a foreign habitat. As time has progressed, invasive species have continued to come into our environment more frequently creating many unforeseen consequences. The relationship of invasive species within the United States’ environment and ecosystem has been changing ever since the arrival of the Europeans in the 1700s to present day. Due to these encounters with other species whether harmful or neutral, the majority, if not all, of the United States has been affected with the threatening encroachment of native species due to the industrialization of waterways and transportation.
It is difficult to conceive how fossils of delicate soft-bodied animals could be preserved given the evidence of strong currents in the strata. However, extensive research has provided an explanation. Most of the animals settled on mud patches out of the water during calm currents. Some of these patches dried between tides and developed deep cracks.
The entire point of this essay is to breakdown the theory of evolution, invalidate its scientific reliability, and support the necessity of showing its errors and inaccuracies in classroom textbooks side-by-side with creationism. To date, evolution is being taught in public schools as the only theory of origins. Creationism must be included as the only alternative and evolution discredited because of its invalidity.

Although modern evolutionists are thought to be divided on the issues surrounding evolutionary theory, a close look at the evidence suggests that both the gradualist school of thought and the punctuationist school of thought share many characteristics in common. This is especially true when evaluating their beliefs about the fossil record, disagreement with the theory of saltation, and the misinterpretation of the word “rapid” in terms of punctuationist theory. Although this may be the case, the two theories do diverge on one important point, the notion of periods of stasis, but when taken as a whole, the evidence suggests that punctuationism is not as radical as it has been hyped up to be.
According to Salewski and Bruderer (2007) is the regular, endogenously controlled, seasonal movement of birds between breeding and non-breeding areas. Migration is an adaptation that has been shaped by the natural selection. Birds have likely been migrating for millions of years. Migration continues to be a widespread phenomenon, with more than half of the world’s approximately 10,000 species of birds classified as migrants (Berthold 1998). However, the percentage of bird species that exhibit migratory behavior varies with latitude. The desire of migration is a hereditary impulse. The timing of the migration is usually a mixture of internal and external stimulus. Migration is a dangerous but necessary journey for many birds. Fortunately, they
