Refinement of Existing Adaptations
Any living organism may have many adaptations.
A complex structure may have evolved from simpler structures.
Ex: Camera –like eye of mammals has evolved from simpler eye types

Development Feet in various salamanders Salamanders vertebrates closely related
to frogs, live in land or water, but some live in trees
Tree dwelling ones have feet adapted to climbing
Ground Dwelling Tree Dwelling w/ more webbing

Relative Dating
Determines the Order in which events occurred
Not Actual Age

Radioactive Dating
Based on measurement of certain radioactive isotopes.
Used to determine the absolute ages of rocks and fossils
Measured in Half-Life

Half-LifeTime required for a
radioisotope to lose ½ of its radioactivity.
Ex: Carbon-14: ½ life ~ 5730 yrs. decays into Nitrogen-14

Carbon-14 is produced in the atmosphere fairly constant rate
14C is constant in all living things. When an organism dies, it no longer picks up 14C.
By comparing the activity of a sample with the activity of living tissue time an organism has been dead

Continental Drift
Land masses on different plates change positions as a result of movement

Mass Extinction
Long periods of relative stability broken by comparatively brief episodes of species loss
5 or 6 over the last million years
