PIX4633185: 100m ocean level rise - South America - South America with sea level+100m - Artist view showing South America as it would appear if the ocean level increased by 100 metres. This would happen if all glaciers on Earth melt. This is how South America may appear with mean sea level about 100 meters (330 feet) above today's. Such a dramatic rise in sea level could occur if all of the Earth's glaciers were to melt. In this image much of Brazil, Venezuela and nearly all of the of the Amazon Basin has been flooded with sea water destroying a minimum of 2 million square miles of dense tropical rainforest. Further south the majority of Uruguay, Paraguay, and much of Argentina are, like the Amazon Basin, under an inland sea / Bridgeman Images

PIX4633248: Phacops face - Artist's view of Phacops evoluting in the Silurian Sea (- 436 million years). Close - up of the face, eyes and antennae of a trilobite of the genus Phacops as it may have appeared 436 million years ago. The Phacops in this image is about six inches long. A marine arthropod of the class Trilobita, Phacops is characterized by a rounded body with a globose head. Phacops, like most trilobites, had a pair of sophisticated compound eyes composed of hundreds of rigid, crystalline lenses / Bridgeman Images
PIX4633251: Pterygotus - Artist's view of pterygotus, a giant sea scorpion (eurypteride) 432 million years ago. Art work of a marine arthropod of the genus Pterygotus as it may have appeared 432 million years ago. This Pterygotus is about five feet long. Other fauna in this image include trilobites of the genus Phacops and sessile polyps of the order Actiniaria. Pterygotus is from the extinct order eurypterida (Sea Scorpion), and characterized by a pair of large compound eyes, as well as a pair of smaller eyes atop its head. It had 4 pairs of walking legs, a fifth pair modified into swimming paddles, and a pair of large pincers for grasping prey / Bridgeman Images
