Our results revealed that climate change caused the biodiversity of Plecoptera to slowly diminish in the past and will cause remarkably accelerated biodiversity loss in the future. These findings support the theory that climate change has had its greatest impact on biodiversity over a long temporal ...
The theory of continental drift is mainly based on the following evidences (1) exact location of plant and animal fossils indicates the gradual accumulation of larger continental masses over the past geological times, (2) the palaeoclimatic evidences indicates that the existing tropical regions of ...
Continental drift is still underway, propelled by the roiling currents of magma beneath our feet. According to satellite measurements, Europe and America are separating at the rate of a few centimetres every year. Where Are We all Heading? Given the different directions in which the various conti...

“Ice Age: Continental Drift” looks like it will continue the winning tradition of animation studio Blue Sky’s crown jewel, opening at a decent $46 million. Despite the fact that the lead characters of this franchise should be extinct by now, this past-due series still managed to generate...
1b), and rely on, the LAB structure of the Arabian margin, and later discuss the implications of our results for the Nubian conjugate. On the other hand, owing to the youth of the rift-to-drift transition (13-Ma-old or younger) it is likely that current processes at the spreading ...
Scambos et al., 2017). Present research and future drilling in this region are consequently focusing on testing the hypothesis that Circumpolar Deep Water incursions onto the shelf were the main driver of WAIS retreat during past warm periods of the Quaternary and Neogene (Gohl et al., 2021)...
The mean age of the continents is greater than 2 Ga and some parts have ages greater than 3 Ga. V.A Continental Drift The continents are rafted about on the plates, resulting in continental drift. The earliest arguments for continental drift were based largely on the fit of the continents....
b. continental drift c. meteor impacts d. All of these are correct. What Are Mass Extinction Events?: Over the course of recorded geological history, there are known to have been at least five mass extinction events that have occ...
As the only active continental collision on our planet, the Himalayas and Tibet also offer a glimpse into how other mountain ranges have formed in the past and may form in the future. “Australia is just beginning to collide with the Indonesian block – that’s continental collis...
