What two continents have the greatest number of times zones?
North America and Europe have the greatest number of time zones. North America has up to 9 time zones, while Europe has up to 12 time zones.
What are the two processes that contribute the growth of continents over time?
The two processes that contribute to the growth of continents over time are accretion, where new landmasses are added to existing continents through tectonic activity, and magmatism, where volcanic activity generates new crust that can add to the size of continents. These processes can lead to the gradual expansion of continents over geological timescales.
Which has the longest residence time on continents?
Methane has the longest residence time on continents among the greenhouse gases, due to its lower reactivity and slower rate of removal from the atmosphere.
What connected all the continents.?
The supercontinent Pangaea connected all the continents about 300 million years ago. Over time, Pangaea split apart, leading to the formation of the continents as we know them today.
How did the continents come together?
Continental drift is the theory that explains how the Earth's continents have moved over time due to the process of plate tectonics. About 300 million years ago, all the continents were part of a supercontinent called Pangaea. Over time, the movement of tectonic plates has separated and repositioned the continents to their current locations.
Which continents was not covered by ice during the pleistocene ice age?
Australia was one continent not covered by ice during the Pleistocene Ice Age. Africa is another continent not covered during this time.
What two continents have the greatest number of times zones?
North America and Europe have the greatest number of time zones. North America has up to 9 time zones, while Europe has up to 12 time zones.
Where did the dinosaurs herbivores live?
Herbivorous dinosaurs lived on all continents throughout the entire Mesozoic era. This includes Antarctica, which was not covered by an ice cap at that time.
What is the difference about glaciation and an interglacial period?
Glaciations are the times during which glaciers grew and covered large parts of continents. An interglacial period is a geological time between glaciations.

What is Pangea and what evidence dose Wagner give for this?
pangea is a super-continent formed a long time ago when all of the seven continents came together. the largest amount of evidence scientists have is that all of the continents fit almost perfectly together, like a puzzle.
How many time zones and continents does russia have?
Russia has nine time zones spanning two continents.
Which continent no time zone?
All continents have time zones. It is just that the continents are so big that they have many time zones in them.

What evidence is there that the continents were joined together at one time?
Evidence supporting the concept of continental drift and the past existence of a supercontinent includes the fit of the continents' coastlines, similarities in rock formations and fossils across currently separated continents, matching mountain ranges on different continents, and the distribution of certain ancient climate-sensitive rock formations like glacial deposits. Additionally, paleomagnetic data from rocks indicate the past movement of continents.
How large is the incas civilization?
The Incas had the largest empire in the time before the discovery by Columbus. At its height, it covered more that 770 thousand square miles.
Have the continents on opposite sides of the Atlantic ocean generally been drifting apart?
Yes. The continents have been drifting around since Earth first got her oceans, or before. At one time, there were a group of continents clustered near what is now Antarctica . . . the entire remainder of Earth's surface was covered by oceans of water. They eventually drifted apart. The current arrangement of continents occurred fairly recently in Earth's 4.5 billion year age.
