This documentary starts off with it talking about how the soon to be earth was being hit with thousands of asteroids. The material of the asteroid sometimes got into the ocean. The ocean hit the material and the water at the right time and created the first ever genetic material. This genetic material was then consumed by an oil blob and created the first ever cell. The cell then went through mitosis and created millions of cells. The cells then had accidents with them just floating around in the water. Some cells collided with each other and had sexual reproduction. This sexual reproduction created mutations and variants of the other cells and more cells were formed. The cells then began to create more cells which then turned into the first aquatic creatures. These creatures were worms that formed under the water. These creatures were blind but developed eyes after a while. The nerve cells inside of the worm begin to collect to form a brain. At this point, it is a fish like creature. That creature then evolves into a more armored and stronger fish due to needing to protect itself. That fish then struggles to find a home and ends being able to breathe air. This creature is an amphibian and can breathe air and water. Later it finally evolves to exist only on the surface. The creature on the surface then has to compete with other creatures on the surface that turn into dinosaurs and other things. Due to the sun, the amphibian evolves into a lizard that has tougher skin to protect from the sun and claws to help for traveling terrain. The cold then forces many of these lizards to grow hair along their bodies. These are rodents and they are alive during the dinosaurs. They live in burrows and are very small. They survive the extinction of the dinosaurs by hiding underground. With being small they can eat the small amounts of food while the other plants are growing back. The rodents that rule the land then evolve even larger and variation makes animals even more diverse. The first human-esque creatures finally develop due to the need to kill other creatures and speed. Those creatures then form into the humans that we know today.

This documentary starts with talking about how mammals are the animals that succeeded the dinosaurs after the majority of them died off.  Archaeologists had found a mammalian skull in the desert that they say was the beginning of all of the mammals we have today. It was as long as 5 inches and first appeared during the period when the continent was Pangaea. Mammals were very small and lived in burrows. Due to the dinosaurs that would eat them in the day time, most mammals would hunt and forage during the night. They also had a bone structure in their ear that humans still use today. Most of the mammals during that time laid eggs to give birth. A certain few species had begun using the placenta to keep babies inside of them, birthing live children. The documentary then moves to talk more about dinosaurs and how the dino succus ruled the fresh waters in North America and then it shows this ground that had been turned on its side in the last millions of years where dinosaurs had used to walk. The wall/ground showed that there were still many different types of dinosaurs alive before the extinction. It then moves the scene to a lake area with a desert/savannah setting around it. A sauropod and edmontonia feast on trees and bushes. A carnotaurus attacks after the sauropod leaves. Edmontonia fights the carnotaurus with the spikes on the sides of its body. The carnotuarus realizes it cannot win and goes after the sauropod. The carnotuarus chases the sauropod and collides with it. More of the sauropods of the same species come and protect the younger one that was being attacked. It then moves the scene to the asteroid belt and tells how the collision of two asteroids caused one to be thrown at the earth. The asteroid hits the earth and sends tons of debris in all directions. Everything is set on fire and all dinosaurs not killed by the fire are killed by the tsunamis that follow afterward. All small animals that lived underground are safe. The mammals with high birth rates and small lifespans now benefit the mammals. Being small also allows the mammals to eat a small amount and it helps them because there is a very small amount of resources. Mammals had evolved bigger after the plants that were covered up began regrowing and more species of mammals allowed for more food. Mammals ruled the planet and kept evolving.

Extraterrestrial Beings- Interstellar Quest

I think that out of a space station, a Mars colony, and a Moon colony, that a colony on the moon would be the best. I think that this will be the best option out of the three because the moon, as long as earth does not get destroyed, has the earth to orbit around which is already the perfect distance from the sun. With being the perfect distance from the sun, that means that the moon will range from how far and close it is to the sun, due to it orbiting the earth. So, by that, I expect that there will be a new kind of seasons on the moon.

Now I am going to be listing the things that humans would need inside of a space station if there was one on the moon. This station would be the shelter. The first thing I know we would need is a source of oxygen. This could be possible with the use of plants that could grow in the space station. The way we could get plants in space, trees, bushes, and etc., is that we could bring soil up from Earth on a spaceship. The soil could also be made with a mix of the decomposing food that was left over from the trip, the crews feces from the trip, and the soil on the moon. The Moon’s soil contains a lot of oxygen and silicon and these both positively affect plants. The next resource we would need to cover is water. Water could be made from a purifier that connects to all of the bathrooms. It would then take the urine of the people and purify it. Urine is 95% water so a large amount of water could be regained from urination. I also would plan to create my station on the bright side of the planet or close to the line between the dark side and the light side of the moon so that part of the station could be receiving direct sunlight and the other side wouldn’t. The sunlight would help with the plants that I plan to grow inside of the space station. I would also have solar panels on the part of the station that is exposed to the sun so that I can collect power for the station and all of the appliances inside of it. The next thing would be the plants that we would have on the station. There would be no animals because it would be a vegetarian colony. The plants would be brought from earth and would be planted in the soil that I had made. Inside of my station is where I would have my farm and there would be a giant thick glass dome for sunlight to get to the crops. Also, there will be a carbon dioxide vacuum system that sucks up all of the CO₂ and feed it to the plants. There will also be a radio tower like set up on top of the station so that we can receive signals from other areas in space and from the earth.

Documentarian- Dinosaurs in the Outback

Here is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y75OB2n9Zz4

In this video, it talks about some of the dinosaurs that lived in the outback. For the main part of this video, it talks about how this guy named David Elliot, a grazier in the outback of Australia. He was herding sheep and found a bone that he thought, at first, was a strange looking rock. He contacted the Queensland museum a year after they found it, not digging it up, though, and they came to Elliot and collected the bone. They had only found the femur that he had seen on the surface. He knew about how the soil on the top had really just been blown around and that may have covered up the rest of the dinosaur's fossils. The team of Paleontologists came back out and they started excavating the dirt around where the femur was. They soon found other parts of the "sauropod that died there"'s legs and found some other lower body pieces. The person who has been narrating in this documentary then went back to the lab with the scientists. The scientists showed her how to and what they use to clean the dinosaur bones and remove them from their protective rock shells. A theropod's bones were also found near the area later on by David's family. Scientists assumed that the way this happened is that the sauropods herd was traveling through the area that was there millions of years ago. It had probably gotten stuck in the mud while traveling. The theropod there had probably been trying to eat the sauropod because it had noticed it was stuck. The theropod tried to attack the sauropod and the sauropod swung it's tail at the creature and killed it. The theropod died on its side and the sauropod died standing in the mud. Bigger dinosaurs had probably come by and took some of the sauropod's body. That is the reasoning for why the dinosaurs that were found in the area are there and their positions. Also, it is the reasoning for why some of the sauropods bones are missing.

Documentarian- Mega Beasts: T Rex of the Deep - Mosasaur Documentary

Here is the link to the 33 Minute Documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhY_SnX2gjE

This documentary is about how the Mosasuarus is the apex creature of the sea during the time of the dinosaurs. It starts off talking about how the mosasaurus was originally a land lizard that had to move to the ocean to avoid being eaten by the land creatures at the time. It talks about the land reptile mosasaur evolving into the dallasaurus and then into the Mosasaurus. For the main part of this documentary it talks about what makes the mosasaurus the apex if ut's territory. The first thing is it's bone structure. The bones allow for the fast movement in water with it's webbed feet and paddle-like tail. The second thing is, that since it evolved from a lizard, it has the ability to smell like a lizard. It has the forked tongue that allows for the smelling in two different directions. The next thing is it's sonar ability. It uses this to hear everything in it's area and it allows for it to fin many sources of food. The next thing is the size of the creature. The size allows for the mosasaurus to take on many large predators. The last thing that makes the mosasuarus an apex predator is how it's jaw is formed and it's teeth. It has a small set of teeth in the back of it's throat that allows for pushing it backwards in it's thoat and allows for fast swallowing and biting.

Storms- Natural Disasters Quest Chain

First, I have to talk about how multiple different storms are formed and what conditions are needed for them to form. First, a tornado. For a tornado, you need warm, moist air that collides with cool, dry air. The cool, dry air pushes against the warm, moist air and it makes the warmer air begins to convect and spin rapidly, forming a supercell. The next one I am going to do is hurricanes. A storm, which is from cold and warm fronts colliding, has to form over the ocean. Then the warm fronts push more water vapor towards the storm and it begins to build more storms with that starting storm. It again creates a supercell and that is where all of those storms attach. The final storm is a blizzard. Blizzards The first thing is that cold air that is under 0 degrees Celcius is needed. Then moisture is also needed for clouds which can be gathered in a couple different ways. The air then pushes to moisture towards the cold front and it begins to create clouds. Then a warm front is needed so that the clouds can rise and for precipitation to fall. These are the conditions for all three major storms.
