Millimeter
Definition: A millimeter (symbol: mm) is a unit of length in the International System of
Units (SI). It is defined in terms of the meter, as 1/1000 of a meter, or the distance
traveled by light in 1/299 792 458 000 of a second.
History/origin: The milli- prefix is one of many metric prefixes. It indicates one
thousandth of the base unit, in this case the meter. The definition of the meter has
changed over time, the current definition being based on the distance traveled by the
speed of light in a given amount of time. The relationship between the meter and the
millimeter is constant however. Prior to the current definition, the meter was based on
the length of a prototype meter bar. As with all SI units, the definition of the meter is
subject to change, and it is possible that a new definition of the meter will be in place in
the future.

Inch
Definition: An inch (symbol: in) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary
systems of measurement. An inch was defined to be equivalent to exactly 25.4
millimeters in 1959. There are 12 inches in a foot and 36 inches in a yard.
History/origin: The term "inch" was derived from the Latin unit "uncia" which equated
to "one-twelfth" of a Roman foot.
There have been a number of different standards for the inch in the past, with the
current definition being based on the international yard. One of the earliest definitions of
the inch was based on barleycorns, where an inch was equal to the length of three
grains of dry, round barley placed end-to-end. Another version of the inch is also
believed to have been derived from the width of a human thumb, where the length was
obtained from averaging the width of three thumbs: a small, a medium, and a large one.
Current use: The inch is mostly used in the United States, Canada, and the United
Kingdom. It is also sometimes used in Japan (as well as other countries) in relation to
electronic parts, like the size of display screens.

Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles[note 1] of the clade Dinosauria. They first appeared during
the Triassic period, between 243 and 233.23 million years ago,[1][2] although the exact origin and
timing of the evolution of dinosaurs is the subject of active research.[3] They became the dominant
terrestrial vertebrates after the Triassic–Jurassic extinction event201 million years ago; their
dominance continued through the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Reverse genetic
engineering[4] and the fossil record both demonstrate that birds are modern feathered
dinosaurs,[5] having evolved from earlier theropodsduring the late Jurassic Period.[6] As such, birds
were the only dinosaur lineage to survive the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event 66 million
years ago.[7]Dinosaurs can therefore be divided into avian dinosaurs, or birds; and non-avian
dinosaurs, which are all dinosaurs other than birds. This article deals primarily with non-avian
dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs are a varied group of animals from taxonomic, morphological and ecological standpoints.
Birds, at over 10,000 living species,[8] are the most diverse group of vertebrates
besides perciform fish.[9]Using fossil evidence, paleontologists have identified over 500
distinct genera[10] and more than 1,000 different species of non-avian dinosaurs.[11] Dinosaurs are
represented on every continent by both extantspecies (birds) and fossil remains.[12] Through the first
half of the 20th century, before birds were recognized to be dinosaurs, most of the scientific
community believed dinosaurs to have been sluggish and cold-blooded. Most research conducted
since the 1970s, however, has indicated that all dinosaurs were active animals with
elevated metabolisms and numerous adaptations for social interaction. Some were herbivorous,
others carnivorous. Evidence suggests that egg-laying and nest-building are additional traits shared
by all dinosaurs, avian and non-avian alike.
While dinosaurs were ancestrally bipedal, many extinct groups included quadrupedal species, and
some were able to shift between these stances. Elaborate display structures such as horns or crests
are common to all dinosaur groups, and some extinct groups developed skeletal modifications such
as bony armor and spines. While the dinosaurs' modern-day surviving avian lineage (birds) are
generally small due to the constraints of flight, many prehistoric dinosaurs (non-avian and avian)
were large-bodied—the largest sauropod dinosaurs are estimated to have reached lengths of 39.7
meters (130 feet)[13] and heights of 18 meters (59 feet)[14] and were the largest land animals of all
time. Still, the idea that non-avian dinosaurs were uniformly gigantic is a misconception based in part
on preservation bias, as large, sturdy bones are more likely to last until they are fossilized. Many
dinosaurs were quite small: Xixianykus, for example, was only about 50 cm (20 in) long.
Since the first dinosaur fossils were recognized in the early 19th century, mounted fossil dinosaur
skeletons have been major attractions at museums around the world, and dinosaurs have become
an enduring part of world culture. The large sizes of some dinosaur groups, as well as their
seemingly monstrous and fantastic nature, have ensured dinosaurs' regular appearance in best-
selling books and films, such as Jurassic Park. Persistent public enthusiasm for the animals has
resulted in significant funding for dinosaur science, and new discoveries a
