Ecotourism refers to a type of tourism that is sustainable and responsible. Although there have been many cases in which people are not responsible and actually cause harm to the environment, usually ecotourism could be extremely beneficial for both nature and the economy.
Ecotourism motivates people to care for nature, to appreciate fauna in the wild - instead of trapped in swimming pools or in a circus, to get to know people from other cultures such as tribes and indigenous groups and their lifestyles. Ecotouristic companies provide thousands of jobs and their tours also contribute significantly to the economy of a country. For instance, responsible whale watching provides millions of dollars yearly to the economy of Mexico. People are able to observe whales in their natural habitat, to listen to their vocalizations, and observe their natural undisturbed behavior.
The fact that the Mayans were building great buildings in their period of existence, is a proof that they had a very big political power in the region, and not just political, but also military, economic, cultural power.
Only civilizations that are strong, well organized, and political powerhouses, have been able to build such big structures, because they had the conditions and time for it. For building such big structures, lot of wealth is needed, also lot of workers, and great engineers. The Mayans had it all. They had great engineers, the labor force was provided in general by the slaves, or by the the tribes that they were ruling over, and from all the tributes paid to them by the people they ruled over, they had surplus of wealth, which meant that they can perform such activities without damaging the empire.

The correct answer is -175 million years ago.
Pangaea was a supercontinent which was consisted of all the continental masses we know nowadays, just they were all merged into one very large land mass. This supercontinent started to form from the land masses that existed prior to it, and because of the tectonic activity they merged roughly around 335 million years ago. The continent existed during the Paleozoic era, as well as the early Mesozoic era.
With the breaking up of this continent because of the tectonic activity, it split initially into two large continents, Laurasia on the north, and Gondwanaland on the south. With the later break up, Laurasia split into Eurasia and North America, while Gondwanaland split into South America, India (which later moved towards Eurasia and merged with it), Antarctica, and Australia. The formation of the modern day continents also resulted in the formation of multiple oceans instead of one.
