Title: Paleogeography and Paleogeology Post by: Astronuc on March 25, 2007, 06:11:33 AM The study of paleogeography has two principle goals. The first goal is to map the past positions of the continents. The second goal is to illustrate the changing distribution of mountains, lowlands, shallow seas, and deep ocean basins through time.
Mapping the Past Positions of the Continents The past positions of the continents can be determined using the following five lines of evidence: paleomagnetism, linear magnetic anomalies, paleobiogeography, paleoclimatology, and geologic history. http://www.scotese.com/method1.htm Title: Re: Paleogeography and Paleogeology Post by: Astronuc on March 25, 2007, 07:32:06 AM Dinosaurs and the History of Life
