object? Well according to Chris Larson they do so by watching for change. The Advanced Thin Ionization Calorimeter (ATIC) is one method used to better understand dark matter. The ATIC is a balloon-borne instrument flying in the stratosphere over Antarctica to measure the energy and composition of cosmic rays. By looking at the changes in electron and positron energy output and composition researchers attempted to prove just the existence of dark matter back in 2008. They argued that a higher than

Therefore‚ a conclusion was made that all the continents were all at one time connected in a single supercontinent called a Pangaea. The gradual drifting away of the Pangaea into seven sections namely: North America‚ South America‚ Africa‚ Europe‚ Asia‚ Antarctica‚ and Australia around 300 million years ago is known today as the continental drift. Plate tectonics is accountable for the majority of Earth’s geologic features. It is responsible for the formation of mountain ranges and the shape and position
