How can continents sink?
They don't actually "sink" , the only way for continets to "sink" is if the worlds ice caps melt little by little, some continets get floodedThe above answerer can't hide his ignorance. Continents can, in deed, sink. Consider the case of the continent of Zealandia. Also known as Tasmantis or the New Zealand continent. It broke away from Antarctica 80 to 130 million years ago. Then it was finally submerged when it broke away from Australia 60 to 85 million years ago. It is considered to be completely submerged as of 23 million years ago. 93% of remains beneath the Pacific Ocean.

What is the temperature in kelvins of 23 degrees C?
23 degrees Celsius is 296.15 Kelvin.
What is the epoch of prehistory from around 33.9-23 million years ago?
This is called the Oligocene Epoch.
In which geological period did Cows first appear and what were they descending from?
Cows first appeared in the Miocene Epoch, part of the Neogene Period in the Cenozoic Era. (current era) The Miocene Epoch started 23 million years ago and ended 5 million years ago, and many different grazing species developed during this time period.
How many millions of years ago did the eocene epoch start?
The Miocene was from about 26 million to 5 million years ago. It is part of the Tertiary Period and the Cenozoic Era. The word Miocene comes from the Greek for "less than present." It is the age of the first hominids.
What year did moa birds exist?
Moas first evolved in the Miocene Epoch (23-5 million years ago). The last moas died out in the 1400's.
When did the saber toothed cat live?

Where did a saber-toothed cat live?

How long did saber-toothed tigers live on earth?
The subfamily Machairodontinae (saber toothed cats) evolved about 23 million years ago, during the Oligocene series, which is part of the Paleogene system. They became extinct about 10,000 years ago. So they existed for nearly 23 million years.
What period time did the wooly mammoth live?
Mammoths lived from about 5 million years ago until about 3,700 years ago.* That falls into the geologic time periods of the Neogene (which was from about 23 to 2.5 million years ago) and the Quaternary (which was from 2.5 million years ago and continues today). The epochs that the mammoths lived in are the Pliocene (which was from about 5.3 to 2.5 million years ago), the Pleistocene (which was from about 2.5 million to 12,000 years ago), and the Holocene (from 12,000 years ago through the present day). *Most mammoths died out about 10,000 years ago. However, a few dwarf subspecies survived beyond that, the longest lasting one being dwarf woolly mammoths on Wrangel Island. These survived until approximately 1700 BC.
How many days ago did the dinosaurs live?
Dinosaurs existed 65.5 million years ago. Back then, a day was about 23 hours. Saying that an average day between modern times and the dinosaur age was 23.5 hours, and a year is 365.25 x 24 hours, then the dinosaurs died out about 24,431,500,000 days ago.
How many years ago was 1989?
1989 was 23 years ago.
How long have dinosaurs been extinct?
Megalodon have been found dating back to 25 million years ago, and as recent as only 2 million years ago. That extends from the late Paleogene period through the Neogene and into the early Quaternary. They survived for 23 million years.
