An Update on Boaty McBoatface!

The video discusses the naming of a research ship, Bodie Mcboat Face, and its mission to study Antarctic waters. The data collected helps understand ocean currents and climate change. It also covers a study on frog evolution, revealing diversification after the Cretaceous extinction, with frogs adapting to new habitats and skipping the tadpole stage.

What was the final name given to the new ship initially suggested as 'Bodie Mcboat Face'?

• RRS James Clark Ross

• David Attenborough

• Bodie Mcboat Face

• Orkney Passage

What was the primary focus of Bodie Mcboat Face's mission in the Antarctic?

• Studying krill populations

• Mapping the ocean floor

• Collecting data on ocean currents and climate change

• Exploring new shipping routes

How do changing winds affect the Antarctic Bottom Water current?

• They make the water colder

• They stop the current completely

• They increase the current's speed and turbulence

• They have no effect

What major event led to the diversification of frog species?

• The formation of the Atlantic Ocean

• The beginning of the Ice Age

• The end of the Cretaceous period

• The rise of flowering plants

What evolutionary innovation helped frogs diversify after the dinosaurs went extinct?

• Ability to fly

• Development of scales

• Living in deserts

• Skipping the tadpole stage
