Pangaea

Lucas and Cosey shared stage as Miles's guitar players. Reggie appeared on the following albums: Get Up With It, Agharta, Pangaea, Dark Magus and The Complete On The Corner Sessions released in 2007. Reggie was 19 years old when he was asked to join Miles's group. His contribution to Miles's group was a Hendrix influenced rock guitar style (Charles, 1999). In 1976, as stated…

Importance of the Nature Conservation Nature is constantly changing, even before the dawn of humanity. From the breakup of Pangaea to the extinction of dinosaurs, from the Sahara Pump to the Ice Age, Earth has completely changed from what it was millions of years ago. Beyond these spontaneous events, initiated by Nature itself, Humans are continuously adapting the Planet to accommodate their needs through careless interaction with their surrounding environment. The influence of anthropogenic…

When all the continents on Earth were one supercontinent called Pangaea, all land species were able to roam freely. As the continents began to drift apart, individuals of the same species were separated and as the climates of the lands changed those species adapted and evolved into new, separate species. Some ancestors…

Edward Bullard in 1960s later (Figure 2). Later in 1912, Alfred Wegener, a German geophysicist who was the first to propose the continental drift theory with a mechanism, suggested that all the lands were once joined together as a supercontinent – Pangaea, which was surrounded by the ocean – Panthalassa, the ancestor of modern Pacific Ocean. Wegener’s proposed mechanism of continental drift uses the idea of centrifugal force resulted from spinning Earth and inertia of landmass, coupled with the…

An isotope is an atom containing different numbers of neutrons, differing in atomic mass. Basically an atom with a different atomic mass. What’s special about radioactive isotopes is that a radioactive isotope has a nucleus that decays spontaneously giving off particles and energy. 6. Radioactive tracers are used in science to label certain chemical substances, so metabolic processes can be followed and substances can be located in an organism. Radioactive tracers are important diagnostic…

How it all began: Creationism vs. Evolutionary Science In our modern society a controversy has risen in the scientific community debating the origin of our world between, whether it was created through millions of years or in the blink of an eye by the All-powerful God. Though the argument has already been won our world did not just happen it was created. Creationism is described as the, “worldview that does not accept the undirected formation and development of life but requires intelligent…

Sustainability has become an issue throughout the whole globe. Sustainability is a complicated term which generally means an “approach to development that meets the needs of the present without negatively affecting the ability of the future generations to meet their needs.”(Clarke, Earle, and Wallace, 2006) According to Land Learn organization sustainability means “an ability or capacity of something to be maintained or to sustain itself.” (http://www.landlearnnsw.org.) In my opinion, it is…

about Europe’s expansion over the last centuries, which has come to change life almost everywhere in the world today. Crosby supports his argument in several different ways, which were all through historical roots about the world. He started with Pangaea, which refers to how the earth exists 200 million years ago when the entire continents were one landmass and when dinosaurs were roaming about. About 180 million years ago, the crust of the earth broke up, divided into multiple landmass, moving…

Christopher Columbus’s voyages to the New World had a negative effect. Columbus’s actions caused many problems. After he discovered the New World, social classes were formed, which caused internal conflicts between the people. The Europeans placed themselves higher in society than the natives. Another problem with the arrival of the Europeans was the spreading of new diseases that in essence lead to the Genocide of the Native Americans. While the Europeans were settling and starting new lives,…

Deerfield Basin based on observations and interpretations. Early Mesozoic lithospheric extension led to the development of a long sequence of rift basins. The Deerfield basin is the erosional remnant of one of these rifts exposed in North America after Pangaea separated during the Carnian (Olsen et al., 1992). Today, the valley formations include Pre-Triassic basement, Late-Triassic Sugarloaf Arkose, Early-Jurassic Fall River Beds, Jurassic Deerfield Basalt, Jurassic Turner Falls Sandstone, and…
