distribution of Permo-Carboniferous glacial sediments in South America‚ Africa‚ Madagascar‚ Arabia‚ India‚ Antarctica and Australia was one of the major pieces of evidence for the theory of continental drift. The continuity of glaciers‚ inferred from oriented glacial striations and deposits called tillites‚ suggested the existence of the supercontinent of Gondwana‚ which became a central element of the concept of continental drift. Striations indicated glacial flow away from the equator and toward

are created as a result of the various forces of nature such as wind‚ water and ice and also by the movement of the earth’s tectonic plates. For example‚ due to these actions‚ the soil gets eroded and deposited somewhere far from the site of erosion‚ thus leads to the formation of different landforms. Some landforms are created in a matter of few hours; others take millions of years to appear. A group of landforms in a particular area is called its landscape. Major Landforms of Europe

Paleoclimate is the climates of previous years of the earth’s history. The first way paleocimatologists study the earth’s past climates is by pollen. Pollen is sometimes trapped in lakes and bogs preserving it for many years. So when the scientist’s exstract the pollen they can see what type of plant it comes from. For example if they got the pollen from a silk tree they would know that that previous climate was a warmer one. Because silk trees need warm weather to grow. Then they count the number
