The International Date Line (IDL) is a line that separates the world into two hemispheres. It was first established in 1884 during the International Meridian Conference which was attended by 26 countries. It is located at the 180° longitude, which is the east of Greenwich, United Kingdom. 

The International Date Line does not follow a straight line because it has to avoid countries or groups of islands. The main purpose of the zigzag pattern of the IDL is to avoid confusion regarding time.

The IDL is important because it's the basis for our time zones. Back in the nineteenth century, scientists as well other professionals in various industries proposed to adopt the 24 time zone system which centered on the IDL's principle of adopting the proper "time". The IDL divides the world into two dates: the East of the IDL is a day behind compared to the West of the IDL.

Dinosaurs once stomped across the Yukon, leaving tracks in mud that were buried in more mud and hardened to stone. Some may have
densk [106]

In this question, we are not provided with the image of the dinosaur track. Because of this, we are unable to tell whether this specific track is right-side up or upside-down. However, we can give you some guidance so that you can identify this on your own.

In general, in this type of prints, mud cracks extend downward into soft sediment. These cracks mean that when more sediment is washed in, the second layer fills the cracks beneath. Afterwards, once the layers have hardened, the rock may be cracked apart. Based on this, we can conclude that if you see troughs in a mud-crack pattern, you re looking at the second layer, which was originally right-side up.
