Myr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The "M" is the SI prefix for Mega or million, with "yr" simply an abbreviation for "year". Often the "M" is shown in lowercase, as in "100 myr", which is an incorrect usage, because a lowercase "m" would signify milli, or thousandths, such that "100 myr" would indicate a period of just over a month. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Myr   (176 words)

Mya (unit) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The term 'mya' is now replaced in scientific literature with Ma (mega annum). The term bya is now replaced in scientific literature with Ga (giga annum). It should be noted that like the related unit bya ("billion years ago"), mya is traditionally written in lowercase. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Million_years_ago   (135 words)

GSA Today - Letters to Editor - Subaru and GSA Whether they are intervals or points in time, there appears to be a consensus that Ma stands for "mega-annum" with a plural "mega-annums", and correspondingly for a, ka and Ga. I presume what is involved is the Latin for "year". Why "annum", the accusative singular is used, I don't know (perhaps greater familiarity from phrases such as "per annum"), but it is. Paul R. Renne and Igor M. Villa in the October issue and Andrew V. Okulitch in the April/May issue discuss the use of annum (a) and its multiples ka, Ma, Ga. The former don't use any plural form in their text, the latter uses "anna". www.geosociety.org /pubs/gsatoday/ltr0505.htm   (178 words)

Community Biodiversity Network: Australia: Mega-diverse, mega destructive - 29 March 2000 No verifiable, concise figures are available, however some 40,000 to 50,000 ha per annum are reported to be converted to improved pasture or feed crops for cattle, and 5,000 to 6,000 ha cleared for mixed horticulture (bananas, mangoes, etc.). The irony of this mega diverse nation ranking fifth amongst the world's land clearers seems to be lost on many politicians. The AGO estimated 1,370 ha per annum cleared between 1996 and 1997, and 1999 permit information is also of that order. www.nccnsw.org.au /member/cbn/projects/LifeLines6.1/NatVegAcf.html   (1822 words)

FAO - TWENTY-SEVENTH FAO REGIONAL CONFERENCE FOR ASIA AND THE PACIFIC Yield gains were also faster in the earlier decades--decelerating from 1.9 and 2.3 percent per annum in the sixties and seventies respectively to 1.5 and 1.0 percent in the subsequent decades. To support policy-making, this paper (i) highlights mega trends in the rice economy; (ii) identifies critical developments in rice-based livelihood systems; and (iii) suggests ways and means to leverage the rice sector’s contribution to SARD (Rice-SARD) and initiate the groundwork for restructuring. At this mega analytical level, issues and findings will be for the whole rice sector; cutting across countries, agro-ecological zones (AEZ) and water regimes. www.fao.org /DOCREP/MEETING/007/J1699e.HTM   (6416 words)

Fossil Dating Over the years an age of 2.9 Ma (Mega annum, million years) was settled upon, because that date fitted in with certain other ‘selected’ dates. A standard laboratory did the isochron technique (rubidium-strontium) and the result was that the top was 270 Ma (Mega annum, million years) older than the samples at the bottom, which was impossible! Most samples of the basalt rock closest to the fossil gave dates of about 23 Ma (Mega annum, million years) by the argon method. www.seeking-god.co.uk /id35.htm   (1999 words)

Kerry will most likely try to reinstitute some kind of assault weapons ban and the mega clips that are used in them.

Chapter 3 From the map above we see that Europe and N America moved separately prior to 400 Ma (Mega annum = million years ago), then moved together from 400 to about 200 Ma, and the split again. The observation that the pole positions sometime coincide and sometimes do not indicates that the continents were sometimes moving together and sometimes moved separately. The convergence at 400Ma produced the Appalachians and the split at 200 Ma was the start of the Atlantic Ocean. www.rpi.edu /dept/geo/pe1/chapter3.html   (2844 words)

Science and Religion - Re: Lying about her age. When the isotope concentrations are adjusted for such conversions, the ages calculated are reduced from some 600 Ma (Mega annum, million years) to recent. The concentrations of lead-206, lead-207, and lead-208 suggest that the lead-208 came about by neutron capture conversion of lead-206 to lead-207 to lead-208. Other ore bodies seemed to show similar evidence. killdevilhill.com /srchat/read.php?f=143&i=6710&t=6695   (1819 words)
