How many millions years ago did South America separate from Africa thanks to plate tectonic movement?
120 million years ago
Where did the Apache hunt?
They were originally from the North America and moved hundreds years ago to South California and New Mexico, where they lived in pueblos.
What are the processes that most likely caused the change in the positions of South America and Africa over the last 65 million years?
Plate tectonics.
How were the Ouachita mountains formed?
The Appalachian Mountains formed about 480 million years ago. They were formed in tectonic plate collisions that eventually led to the birth of the Pangaea continent, and used to extend to what is now Morocco.
When is Ben M Baglio birthday?
He grew up in South America in 1964. He lived his whole life there. When he turned 9 years old he moved to Florida.
How the seven continents of the world were moved to there present location?
The movement of continents, known as plate tectonics, has occurred over millions of years due to the shifting of tectonic plates on the Earth's crust. This movement is driven by processes such as seafloor spreading and subduction, leading to the continents drifting to their current positions. This theory was proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912 as part of the larger theory of continental drift.
When did giant ground sloth live?
The Americas originally started out in S. America about 23 million years ago. like most other ground sloths when the Americas first connected they moved up north. ground sloths were some of the only fauna that moved to N. America, many of the N.America species moved south though. the giant ground sloth died out or became extinct 10,000 years ago.
Where are the Andes mountains located and how do they form?
The Andes Mountains are locaed in South America. The Andes formed during the Cretaceous period (about 138 million to about 65 million years ago) when the Pacific crustal plate began to slowly slide beneath the South American plate, uplifting and folding the sedimentary rocks that comprise the Andes (see Plate Tectonics).
When did south America break away from Africa?
Divergent boundaries (separation apart of tectonic plates)
Does Africa and south America have the same mountain ranges?
Basically. Back in Pangea the continents were connected and those two mountain ranges which were originally one. But over the millions of years magma rised between the South American Plate and the African plate (basically right in the middle of the atlantic ocean between Africa and South America) and cooled, causing them to move away from each other, splitting the mountain range in two.
Was the new world new to all people in north America?
Clearly the Western Hemisphere called the "New World" had been occupied by Native American Tribes and civilizations for thousands of years before Europeans began to make settlements in the Western Hemisphere. Scientists believe that thousands of years ago peoples from Asia had crossed into North America and moved South all the way into southern South America.
Which direction has north America moved over the past 250 million years?
The Northwest :)
