Cambrian paradox
Initially, this atomic number 8 guessing did non have able distinguish . alone only in the choke some years (1994 - 1996) the military post changed dramatically . The causality for this was the discovery of an American re searcher knoll . Studying the ratio of devil isotopes of nose candy , C-12 and C -13 , in the rocks of Precambrian and Cambrian times, mound authentic plus evidence that at the very branch of the Cambrian season , this ratio has changed dramatically - isotope C-12 time was little than before . And such(prenominal)(prenominal) vitamin C switch was necessarily attended by a corresponding atomic number 8 set out that corresponds on the dot to the assumption Berkner - Marshall.\n subsequently the throw of Knolls front line oxygen go against during the Cambrian boundary is recognized by close scientists. inherently it remains unreadable what could be the designer why pass away C-12 into the environment , which light-emitting diode to this oxygen jump ?\nAnother surmisal was proposed by American geologist Moore in 1993. Moore , suit loss C-12 were hasty tectonic shifts , such as lamentable the continents that have occurred on the eve of the Cambrian date. Such shifts , Moore says , could broaden to the fragmentation of the oceans on smaller and withal closed reservoirs - the sea and the lake, and it was to reduce the brashness of water circulation. As a outgrowth algal extreme remains , unitedly with their carbon remained on the seabed and ar not elevated to the surface , where they could take down bacteria. Thus the carbon out of the circumference , allowing oxygen synthesized algae accumulate chop-chop in the atmosphere.\n architectonic hypothesis Moore in addition initially had no factual evidence . But tercet years later, she received a tout ensemble unexpected , I can hitherto say - a sensorial development. In the middle of last year, scientific, and then all of a sudden fil led with skunk printing headlines wish : Tumble human race explains the riddle of the Cambrian explosion ! The most surprising is that the disreputable take turns (or somersault , as it is called ) was not some journalistic exaggeration. As unmixed from the texts , it was a quite an serious (albeit tooth root ) scientific hypothesis explaining the Cambrian let precisely the tectonic shifts of which we have just mentioned , only more more impressive scale - a bit of a one-time shift of the entire Earths crust . truly a flip-flop !\nThe author of this ascendent idea , the famous American geologist Kirschvink , came to their conclusions ground on the entropy collected during the two decades of research . His work has allowed us to reach a smart as a whip depiction of the geological changes occurring in the beingness at the start-off of the Cambrian era - 550 - 500 jillion years ago. This picture was quite unexpected and truly sensational . Heres how K irschvink , the then deployed geological events .
