Lab+12-1C


 * __Purpose__** - How did the continents fit together before the Pangaea broke apart?

__**Materials**__ - Photocopy of the continents Scissors Paper Glue

__**Procedure**__ - See p.515

__**Analyze**__ - 1. Africa + South America Fossils, and the obvious jigsaw effect. 2. The fossils, because they cover most of the smaller pieces, and it shows me a pattern that coal deposits and mountains don't. 3. a) Yes. b) No, I used all the evidence I could.

__**Conclude and Apply**__ - 1. a) I set the pieces where they should be, then I tried to fit them together as best as I could. b) He saw a pattern and implemented it. In a way, so did I. 2. Because it makes my work so much easier. 3. a) North America might be farther north-west. South America might go with it, or go south-west, towards Australia. Africa may collide with Asia. b) This would result in a reduction of the average temperature. Days would come later, but end later as well. We would adjust, but many kinds of wildlife may be killed of or they might adapt. It might get so cold, so that nothing can live. It will be very gradual, do we will have time, but trees will freeze, and smaller woodland creatures will too.
