Collide Of Continents

The concept of supercontinent was first proposed by the Alfred Wegener (His full name is Alfred-Lothar-Wegener) in the year of 1912. He was born on 1 November 1880. He is a German polar researcher, Geophysicist, and Meteorologist. The reason behind he proposed this concept is he found some fossil's which lived on the earth. In all the continents but the distance between the continents are so long. That is the reason he proposed his concept of continental drift.  This continental drift was controversial and not widely accepted because he did not prove that how the continents are moved due to this reason every not accepted until the 1950's. After tectonic plates was discovered based on this tectonic plates the continents are moved. now we assume that how the modern continents was placed.

Every 300-500 Million years the supercontinent was formed. In 300 Million years ago one supercontinent was formed it was named as PANGAEA. The word PANGAEA derived from Ancient Greek PAN means(all, entire, whole) and GAEA means (Mother Earth, land). Before PANGAEA  there also supercontinent are formed.



Name Age Of Content
Ur(Vaalbara) 3600-2800 Million Years
Kenorland 2700-2100 Million Years
Protopanagea-Paleopanagea 2700-2600 Million Years
Columbia(Nuna) 1800-1500 Million Years
Rodinia 1250-750 Million Years
Pannonia 600 Million Years
PANGAEA 300 Million Years



At the  time of PANGAEA, all  the earlier continents are assembled and formed  as SuperContinent.It
is the last supercontinent. Africa continent is the mother of all the continents. Because the first forme
continent on the earth is Africa. The world's oldest GRANITE MOUNTAIN was found in Africa it was formed with minerals like LEAD, IRON, etc.






After 175 Million Years the continents are separated from each other. The North American continent is separated from Europe continent now also we can see that where Europe and American separated in ICELAND.

Continental  divided between North America and Iceland 


The South American continent is separated from the African continent. Indian continent is separated from African continent it moves nearly 2 meters speed in one year. Australia was separated from Africa continent. After 50 Million years ago Indian continent collides with the Asian continent. At that time the world largest mountains HIMALAYAS was formed.


 HIMALAYAS

When the South America continent collides with North American Continent then GRAND-CANYON was formed. The GRAND-CANYON Mountain is the best place for research on Geophysics. At the top of this mountains, we will found the fossils which are lived on the earth before these continents collide with each other. The GRAND-CANYON we can observe that it contains different layers.  They specify that how the earth will be changed from the beginning of the earth. For researchers it best place to research on the earth.


GRAND-CANYON


Now we have the supercontinent which is named as EURASIA. It is located between Europe, ASIA, and AFRICA. At present Australia is moving 1.2 meters every year to its north. From the last 22 years, it moves 5 -feet. After 50 Million years Australia collides with SouthEast-Asia.After 100 Million years Africa continent collides with Europe Continent and formed the world's largest mountains which are named as  MADETARIN mountain.175 million year's after  The America continent again collide with African Continent. And After 200 million year's the earth Geographically changed while comparing to now. And again the supercontinent was formed and it is named as Pangaea Ultima.

Dark matter

Dark matter  is an unidentified type of matter  distinct from dark energy ,  baryonic matter  (ordinary matter),  and neutrinos . It comprises approximately 27% of the  mass and energy  in the   observable universe .  The name refers to the fact that it does not emit or interact with electromagnetic radiation , such as light, and is thus invisible to the entire electromagnetic spectrum .  Although dark matter has not been directly observed, its existence and properties are inferred from its gravitational effects such as the motions of visible matter, gravitational lensing , its influence on the universe's large-scale structure , and its effects in the cosmic microwave background . Dark matter is transparent to    electromagnetic radiation  and/or is so dense and small that it fails to absorb or emit enough radiation to be detectable with current imaging technology.                                  Estimates of masses for galaxies and larger structures via dynamical and

Nibiru cataclysm

The  Nibiru cataclysm  is a supposed disastrous encounter between the Earth  and a large planetary object (either a collision or a near-miss) which certain groups believe will take place in the early 21st century. Believers in this doomsday event usually refer to this object as  Planet X  or  Nibiru . The idea that a planet-sized object will collide with or closely pass by Earth in the near future is not supported by any scientific evidence and has been rejected by astronomers and planetary scientists as pseudoscience and an Internet hoax. The idea was first put forward in 1995 by Nancy Lieder, founder of the website ZetaTalk. Lieder describes herself as a contactee with the ability to receive messages from  extraterrestrials  from the Zeta reticuli star system through an implant in her brain. She states that she was chosen to warn mankind that the object would sweep through the inner  Solar System  in May 2003 (though that date was later postponed) causing Earth to undergo a physi

Cretaceous period

The Cretaceous is geologic period and system that spans 79 million years from the end of the Jurassic period 145 million years ago to the beginning of the Paleogene Period 66 mys. It is the last period of the Mesozoic Era and the longest period of the Phanerozoic Eon. The Cretaceous Period is usually abbreviated K, for its German translation Kreide (chalk, creta in Latin) . The Cretaceous was a period with a relatively warm climate, resulting in high eustatic sea levels that created numerous shallow inland seas. These oceans and seas were populated with now-extinct marine reptiles, ammonites and rudists, while dinosaurs continued to dominate on land. During this time, new groups of mammals and birds, as well as flowering plants, appeared . Research History :- The Cretaceous as a separate period was first defined by Belgian geologist Jean d'Omalius d'Halloy in 1822, using strata in the Paris Basin and named for the extensive beds of chalk (calcium carbonate depo
