Answer:

Yes, it can.

Explanation:

Australia can be and it is both east and west of South America in practice. A confusion usually occurs because of the imaginary lines set for the human needs and the way the maps are made, so people may think that every continent can be only on side of the other continent. The Earth is rounded though, and naturally there isn't any lines for separation of the sides. So if we take the location of South America and Australia, we can see that Australia is both east and west from South America, as South America is to Australia as well. Australia is located west of South America's west coast, across the Pacific Ocean, but if we take the other side, Australia is located on the east of the eastern coast of South America, with the Atlantic Ocean, Africa, and the Indian Ocean being between them.

.Ice scrapes up a jumble of sediment as it moves across land. Sediments in Heinrich layers are ______. *

cluponka [151]

The sediments located in Heinrich layers contain almost exclusively ice-rafted detritus, known as IRD.

Heinrich layers are layers of sediment in the North Atlantic. These sediments have consist of high amounts of debris in Foraminiferida shells brought by ice. This composition explains how these layers function as a historical record of major ice releases.

These layers are formed from huge releases of ice of the Hudson Strait ice stream. The North Atlantic cores of sediment found in these layers are badly sorted and lack almost any foraminifera, being composed of primarily ice-rafted detritus (IRD).

These IRDs are described as sediments of no particular size that are carried by floating ice until they are introduced into the water and mix into the environment. This Ice carries debris located within it in the way a raft would carry a person, by allowing it to float on the surface of the water
