Using both pages 8 and 9, identify:
Which specie of animal fossil came into existence after Pangea occurred? How can you tell or where did you find this information?
Dinosaurs, L symbol in the time distribution of fossils column shows this which is adjacent to the pangea event, mass extinction of land and seas animals in the early Triassic period.
Find the seismic wave graph and identify:
two types of waves:
which travels faster and how can you tell:
two types of waves: P (primary) and S (secondary) waves
which travels faster and how can you tell: The P wave because if I read along the y axis (time travel) it takes the P wave less time to travel the same distance of that of the S wave
