Scientists discovered that earthquake epicenters are not randomly distributed around the world, but instead cluster along tectonic plate boundaries. This mapping helped to identify regions of high seismic activity and understand the underlying geological processes that cause earthquakes.
Douglas Mawson discovered and mapped large segments of the Antarctic coastline during his Australasian Antarctic Expedition in the early 20th century. He also made important scientific discoveries, including evidence of the existence of a great southern continent.
Richard Byrd discovered the geographic South Pole in 1929, making him one of the first people to reach this remote location. He also led expeditions that explored and mapped large portions of Antarctica, contributing valuable data to our understanding of the continent.
Some earth scientists and their contributions include: James Hutton - considered the father of modern geology for his work on the principle of uniformitarianism. Marie Tharp - mapped the ocean floor and helped prove the theory of plate tectonics. Charles Lyell - known for his work on geological processes and establishing the concept of deep time. Rachel Carson - pioneered the environmental movement with her book "Silent Spring," which raised awareness about the impact of pesticides.
Grove Gilbert discovered that earthquakes can occur due to fault movements along tectonic plates. He also found that earthquakes can produce surface displacements and mapped how faults move during earthquakes. Additionally, Gilbert contributed to the understanding of how seismic waves travel and interact with the Earth's interior.

Scientists have mapped the whole human genome but are still mapping other species genomes such as mice and worms
True
True
I believe its called Pangaea Ultima.
false
Yes. Using a Scanning Tunnelling Microscope (or some variant thereof), individual atoms can be mapped.

In 2002, a report announced that scientists had mapped the genome (genetic material) of an A streptococcus bacterium responsible for acute rheumatic fever.
French explorer Jacques Cartier is credited with discovering and claiming Canada for France. He discovered and mapped the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the Saint Lawrence River.
Yes, scientists have mapped the human genome, which includes the locations of genes on each chromosome. This information is freely available in databases such as GenBank and Ensembl. Scientists use this information to study the function of genes and their involvement in various diseases.
