During Module 2, you identified four journal empirical articles related to your research question. In this module, select two more articles related to your topic, totaling to six sources by this module that you would have gathered.

For the first assignment this module, select two of those six sources and using the guidelines provided on the Module 3 page 2 lecture page, create the annotated bibliographies of the two sources and submit to the M3A1 drop box. Each annotation must be no longer than 150-200 words.

This submission will automatically be reviewed by Turnitin software. You will receive an Originality Report for matching text sections that have been flagged by the software. Review the handouts in DocSharing to understand how to interpret the Turnitin report accurately.

>>I WILL PROVIDE THE SELECTED TUTOR WITH THE PREVIOUS ASSIGNMENT NEEDED FOR THIS PAPER

As you revise, make sure you have cited your sources accurately and also paraphrased the original material in your own words.

Once the revision is complete, submit to the M3: Assignment 1 Dropbox, By Saturday, June 15, 2017

All written assignments and responses should follow APA style in formatting and attributing sources.

Please make sure you review the elements of the grading criteria and associated points carefully and make sure your assignment has addressed all the elements and in enough detail to merit full points.

Case Part I: Geologic History of Earth

The first part of this assignment requires that you consider the history of extinction on our planet as explained in the links you viewed on the Home page. From the Museum of Paleontology tutorial on the Home page, answer the following questions. Use full sentences in paragraph form:

1. When you clicked on the “bookmarks,” which events were listed and in what order (there were six)?
2. In the Geologic Time Scale section, images of which organisms are included in the Archaean time period?
3. Which three periods of time are described as “Eras”? List the representative organisms included in the photos that appear when you click on each Era.
4. From the Sam Noble Museum Mass Extinctions

   How many major mass extinction periods are listed here? Follow the links from that page to learn more about each period. What caused each, and which major groups of species disappeared from each period?

5. Choose two of the recent extinctions listed on this link and explain how they occurred.

Case Part II: Global Climate Change

Scientists have concerns that human activities are changing our environment at rapid rates that could result in a sixth mass extinction. Let’s examine the evidence:

Review this tutorial on the carbon cycle and greenhouse gases.

6. What were listed as human activities related to greenhouse gas production? What does this do to the rate at which carbon is returned to the atmosphere?
7. Opponents of the theory of global climate change propose that extinctions are a normal part of our planet’s history and that the temperature of the planet has also historically fluctuated. Use the following Greenhouse Gas simulation. Begin by clicking on the “Simulation Controls” in the upper left-hand corner. Set the greenhouse gas level to the highest, check the boxes “view labels” and “view a possible consequence.” Use the arrow in the lower right-hand corner to watch the interactive graph, then select “run” on the simulation control window.
8. When you click on the “Graph” menu, what is the relationship between percent (%) of greenhouse gases and temperature? What is the relationship between temperature and ice? Which mass extinction from the Natural History Museum website in Part I does this remind you of?
9. What role does human activity play in the current global warming trend?

Part III: Drawing Conclusions

Now provide a Conclusion paragraph that explains what conclusions you can make for yourself based on the evidence provided and what you now know about the geologic time scale of the history of the Earth. What questions are still left unanswered for you?

Assignment Expectations

Organize this assignment using Part I, Part II, and Part III, with a brief description as subtitles. Answer each question under the subtitle using complete sentences that relate back to the question. For example, Question 1 should be organized this way:

Part I: Geologic History of Earth

For example, when describing items you found in the tutorial, phrase your answers in complete sentences: “Using the Museum of Paleontology website, I found <<insert your answer>> listed when I clicked on the bookmarks in the tutorial.”

Be sure to include a references section at the end of your assignment in APA format that lists the websites used above and any additional resources you used to research your answers.
