The last ice age happened 2 million years ago until 10,000 years ago. At this point, North America is at its normal position, north of the equator.

During the Ice Age a glacier scraped through the rock, which gouged out 240 meters of rock. The sediments got removed from their previous location and deposited in a huge pile, a terminal moraine in Long Island. The…

enormous volcano caused the deaths, scientists begin to look into the volcanoes in the Pacific Ring of Fire. They also found out that the volcano’s eruption affected the South Pole, so they determined that they needed to look for the volcano near the equator. The chemical composition of a rock also helped them narrow down their search because the composition is like fingerprints. The chemical composition of each rock is different and says a lot about the location where it was formed. That is why…

As students, by the time we are 18 we will have been exposed to a lifetime worth…

countries and even to cities in Southern Asia. Another reason that has led to and heightened the yellow fever outbreak is simply the location of Angola. Angola is located on the southwest coast of Africa. Because of its relative proximity to the equator most of Angola’s landscape is covered in a wet, tropical savanna. The mosquito that transmits yellow fever unfortunately thrives in this type of climate, and this one physical geographic aspect of Angola makes it more susceptible to diseases,…
