How Do Scientists Know What Earth’s Past Supercontinents Was?
Scientists learn about Earth’s past supercontinent by studying evidence in rocks and minerals. By examining age, composition, magnetic properties, and other characteristics, researchers can piece together evidence to determine how long supercontinents have been around. By using computer modeling and theories of plate tectonics, scientists can map out how Earth’s landmasses may have once appeared… Continue reading How Do Scientists Know What Earth’s Past Supercontinents Was?
What Is the Maximum Height a Building Can Be Built?
