Cambrian Explosion

The relatively rapid appearance of most major animal phyla, as demonstrated in the fossil record, accompanied by major diversification of organisms including animals, phytoplankton, and calcimicrobes:


Cambrian Explosion

Cambrian Explosion was over a period of many millions of years around 530 million years ago.

Phylum

In biology, the primary subdivision of a taxonomic kingdom, grouping together all classes of organisms that have the same body plan:



Phylum (plural: Phyla)

Autotroph

The producers in a food chain, such as plants on land or algae in water, an organism that produces complex organic compounds; such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins from simple substances present in its surroundings, generally using energy from light by photosynthesis or inorganic chemical reactions, chemosynthesis:

The Great Oxygenation Event (GOE)

The Earth is the only known planet with an atmosphere rich in life-giving oxygen. But for billions of years after its formation, it was blanketed by a suffocating mix of noxious gases. The transformation into the bright, airy planet we inhabit today started with an astonishing chemical make-over that scientists call:



The Great Oxygenation Event (GOE)

Fungus

A member of a large group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds:


Fungus (plural: Fungi)

Fungi can be single celled or very complex multicellular organisms. They are found in just about any habitat but most live on the land, mainly in soil or on plant material rather than in sea or fresh water. A group called the decomposers grow in the soil or on dead plant matter where they play an important role in the cycling of carbon and other elements. Some are parasites of plants causing diseases such as mildews, rusts, scabs or canker. In crops fungal diseases can lead to significant monetary loss for the farmer. A very small number of fungi cause diseases in animals. In humans these include skin diseases such as athletes’ foot, ringworm and thrush [source].

Blitz

In 1940, Hitler embarked on a campaign of bombing raids on Britain that became known as:


Blitz

Blitz is from 'blitzkrieg' (or lightning war). Late in the afternoon of 7 September 1940, 364 German bombers attacked the English capital, escorted by 515 fighters. Many of the bombs aimed at the docks missed their target and fell on residential areas instead, resulting in the deaths of 436 Londoners and injuring a further 1666. The appearance of German bombers in the skies over London marked a tactical shift in Hitler's attempt to subdue Britain. While the Blitz was directed against numerous cities across the country, it began with the bombing of London for a total of 76 consecutive nights.

Divisible by 6

A number is divisible by 6 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 AND its last digit is even (in other words, a number is divisible by 6 if it is an even number and it is divisible by 3).
