In the north of the continent‚ the limited evidence suggests fairly dry conditions‚ while coral cores from the Great Barrier Reef show similar rainfall as today but with less variability. Borehole reconstructions from Australia suggest that‚ over the last 500 years‚ the seventeenth century was the coldest in that continent‚ although the borehole temperature reconstruction method does not show good agreement between the

Technology: Social/Economic In the United States everyone depends on technology and money to survive. In most countries it is the same way‚ but in others not so much. Take the Democratic Republic of Congo for instance; they don’t have all the computers or the money to do what we are able to do. They are forced to

to prove it. Wegener’s three evidences on the continental drift are land features‚ fossils‚ and climate changes. Wegeners tries to prove how once all of the landmasses were once together forming a huge continent called Pangaea. Then‚ all of the continents floated away forming there own continents. This was called the continental drift when all of them floated away. Wegeners evidence is very believable in many ways. I believe this event actually happened. In the end‚ I believe his hypothesis and

Continental Drift The seven continents used to be one giant continent named Pangea. They spread apart and became what the continents are today. The shapes of the continents line up‚ the fossils line up with how the continents‚ the rock formations on both sides of the Atlantic line up with the fossils and coastlines‚ and climatic evidence proves the Theory of Continental Drift. The first piece of evidence for Continental Drift is the shapes of the continents. All of the continents fit together I a logical

in 1915. He suggested that the earth’s continents were once joined together‚ but gradually moved apart over millions of years. This once ‘supercontinent’ was known as Pangea – which translates to ‘’All Earth’’. Pangaea started to break up into two smaller supercontinents‚ called Laurasia and Gondwanaland‚ during the Jurassic period. By the end of the Cretaceous period‚ the continents were separating into land masses that look like our modern-day continents. However‚ Wenger did not have the evidence

Ladies and gentle men‚ I am here on behalf of Alfred Wegener’s theory about Pangaea‚ the Super continent that formed 200 million years ago. The supercontinent that over millions of years‚ formed the continents we know today. My name is Madison Heinecke and I am here to show you that Pangaea existed. If you closely examined a globe‚ you would see that he West African coastline seems to fit nicely into the East coastline of South America and the Caribbean Sea. A similar fit is seen across the Pacific

Continental shelf‚ the most shallow and accessible region‚ they cover 1/6 of Earth’s surface. Continental slope from the edge of the continental shelf to the deep ocean. Continental rise is a huge long shallow slope where debris coming off the continent is deposited‚ and is a gradual slope. Submarine canyons are deep v-shaped valleys that furrow continental shelves and slopes. The abyssal plain is beyond the continental rise and is the flattest region on Earth and is formed as layer upon layer of

It has an holistic approach‚ starting with the whole and ending in details (start with the globe‚ then continents…eventually to the place where they live). The purpose with geography is 2 fold. First you must provide the child with activities‚ which help him to order impressions and information. Secondly in elementary you must introduce the child to his

The major theme that is in this documentary is self explanatory which is arguing that the earth is flat. This documentary and our class in my point of view both have a smilier theme. A simple answer is that they both discuss myths. For example in the documentary‚ Mark discusses that the Earth is flat and tries providing many points of proof and in class we had earlier talked about the Lion Gate in Argolid‚ Greece. According to Greek mythology‚ the Lion Gate was built by cyclops because physically
