Answer: Glaciers caused the scarring

Explanation: Continental drift was a theory that explained how continents shift position on Earth's surface. Set forth in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, a geophysicist and meteorologist, continental drift also explained why look-alike animal and plant fossils, and similar rock formations, are found on different continents.

The theory of continental drift

Wegener thought all the continents were once joined together in an "Urkontinent" before breaking up and drifting to their current positions. But geologists soundly denounced Wegener's theory of continental drift after he published the details in a 1915 book called "The Origin of Continents and Oceans." Part of the opposition was because Wegener didn't have a good model to explain how the continents moved apart.

It pretty much was told that his people were not to get mixed up with the other people, and what they were originating with. Or pretty much, their affairs, if you put it that way. Some heard the term ... 'bad association spoils useful habits'. This is what Washington was worried about. And both John And Tom had to align this case in court I believe. They would have to let the Judge know the situation and everything.

And they key address would be the following:  

Washington Court house.

And the key from this was to support their side of the 'family'.

According to Burkeman, on what way are depressed people mentally stronger than non-depressed people? Do you agree or disagree wi
Travka [436]
Haha, I love this question. Ok, I’ve got this. I feel like depressed people, born with it or had obtained it, really feel like they’ve been through the ringer. They feel like they’ve been beat down harder than most can fathom. They’ve hit a rock bottom that they often thought there was no escape from. However, this seems to make them more tolerant when they resurface from their all time low. They let things roll off them a lot easier than before to avoid falling back into their old routine. They want to avoid ever hitting another rock bottom, so they seemingly become more patient and more relaxed about many situations. I, myself, agree that the depressed people of the world really are mentally stronger than people who’ve never experienced such a hard rock bottom. Sure, everyone has a gloomy day once in awhile. For the depressed, everyday is the worst day Of their life. It takes a real strong willed person to work past a constant stream of never ending dark days.
