TPO-45 - Integrated Writing Task Any student of paleontology will be struck by the fact that a great many animals of the past were considerably larger than they are today. This holds true for species ranging from dinosaurs to most mammals. Just why they w

In this set of materials, the passage states that more considerable large animals such as mammals and dinosaurs are because of three reasons. However, the lecturer finds all the idea dubious and skeptical and emphasizes that none of them are based on authentic facts so provides some evidence to refute them all.

First of all the author of the reading claims that early earth had greater supply of Oxygen. In the contrast, the professor argues that volcanic activities produced a lot of poisonous gases that polluted the air so it was hard to breath and the amount of oxygen was even less than now. Therefore, the oxygen level cannot be the reason of huge animals.

Furthermore, it is mentioned in the reading passage that abundant nutrients in plants played an important role for animals to grow. On the contrary, the lecturer contends that although the earth had vast amount of plants, they were low in nutrients. According to fossils, scientists understood that their useful ingredients were scarce since the plants did not have enough CO2 in contaminated air. Hence, the second reason is not a logical fact.

Finally, the article asserts that warm climate stimulated animals to get bigger dimensions. Conversely, the professor states that it is not a sensible explanation. Larger animals consumes more food and then produced more heat and they need to cool up their body. In warm climate it is harder to counteract body heat and reach to standard temperature. In other words, animals are smaller in warm areas. Thus, Not only does not it have positive effect, but also it has negative impact.
