Geologic Time- Neogene Period

Summary
The Neogene Period was 24-1.8 million years ago. During the Neogene Period, lots of grassland mammals went extinct because of the climate and environment changed, it became warmer. Most of the new birds appeared by the end of Miocene because of the much cooling climate and there was new grasses. Many new things were happening for example, Stratigraphy one out of many types of rocks that were there is Villavieja Formation which was found in South America. Tectonics Events, during Miocene, India collided with Asia so this created plateaus and ranges to higher elevations, creating the Himalayas. Life on Earth, some animals that were alive during this period were Elephants, Horses, Zebras and many more. 






Reflection
What did you enjoy the most about this project?
Working with Carl. This was a really fun project because to be honest most of the time I didn't even know what the project was about, I was completely lost but I think I did great and I wish we could do another one.

What was most challenging about this project? Why?
The most challenging thing was that because I was lost, sometimes I didn't even know what to research about but I had my 'great friend Carl' to the rescue!

What would you change about this project and why?
At first I was so hating this project because Ms. Kara gave such a quick introduction to the Geologic Time Scale that I didn't understand it very well, but now I wouldn't change anything of the project because I really enjoyed doing it and it turned out well.

What are 3 things that you learned from this project?
I learned what was the Geologic Time Scale, which describes time and relationships between events that occurred during the History of Earth.
I learned how to work with Animoto to create original videos, which is very easy.
I also learned how to do References, which at the end it turned out to be fun to do.
