several major plates. Plate tectonics provides the evidence that Australia was once part of an ancient super continent. Alfred Wegner proposed that the continents had once the continents had been united in one large land mass known as Pangaea. He suggested that pangaea broke apart and the continents drifted apart into their present positions. For this reason his hypothesis was called the continental drift hypothesis. Wegner however‚ was not the first person to suggest the continents had once been joined

Monsoon is traditionally defined as a seasonal reversing wind accompanied by corresponding changes in precipitation‚[1] but is now used to describe seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation associated with the asymmetric heating of land and sea.[2] [3] Usually‚ the term monsoon is used to refer to the rainy phase of a seasonally-changing pattern‚ although technically there is also a dry phase. The major monsoon systems of the world consist of the West African and Asia-Australian

CONSERVATIVE PLATE MARGINS (TRANSFORM FAULTS): When two plates slide past each other they create a conservative plate margin. The relative movement is horizontal‚ and classified as either sinistral (moving to the left) or dextral (moving to the right). Along these margins crust (lithosphere) is not being destroyed by subduction‚ neither is it being created. There is no melting of rock‚ and‚ therefore‚ no volcanic activity or formation of new crust. Despite the absence of volcanic activity‚ these

Archeozoic Era The Archeozoic Era stretches from about 3.8 billion to 2.5 billion years ago. Traditionally‚ the beginning of the Archean is defined to coincide with the oldest rocks discovered. As recent discoveries have pushed back the earliest dated rocks to about 4.0 billion years old‚ the beginning of the Archean has also been pushed back correspondingly. However‚ most texts still continue to date the beginning to 3.8 billion years ago. As the Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) ended with the Hadean
