(149 cards)
lithosphere
outer crust
- plates move by magma and exert pressure AKA continental drift
what changes earth’s climate
volcanoes, meteors
order of eras
precambrian, paleozoic (Cambrian), Mesozoic, cenozoic (PPMC)
precambrian era
small aquatic life
paleozoic
Gondwana, similar O2 levels, Cambrian explosion in Cambrian era (start of paleozoic era)
450 MYA:
75% extinction
paleozoic
400 MYA
paleozoic
first vascular plants, arthropods, jawed fish
370 MYA
paleozoic
75% marine extinction
330 MYA
carboniferous period made lots of coal swamps
paleozoic
250 MYA
96% species dead
paleo to meso
220 MYA
first mammals
meso
200 MYA
65% species dead
meso
80 MYA
loss of Dinos
meso
cenozoic era
lots of plants, animal radiation
- tertiary period went from hot to cold, and mammals moved
- quaternary period had 4 major, 20 minor ice ages and hominid evolution (US)
3 major fauna
Cambrian, paleozoic, modern fauna
radial vs spherical
radial is starfish, spherical is sea urchin
acoelomate
no cavity but SPACE is filled with mesenchyme
pseudocoelomate
no inner mesoderm but still space
coelomate
has mesoderm and body cavity, muscle tissue called peritoneum
larva
immature life cycle that Is different from adult. metamorphosis to adult
dispersal stage
stage in life where animal moves so it doesn’t die where it was born
porifera
sponges, no organs, symmetry
- have spicules (hard skeletal elements) and choanocytes
cnidaria
class Hydrozoa, Scyphozoa and anthozoa - diploblastic, have a gastrovascular cavity and are 2 staged
endoderm
blood vessels, organs
