Answer:

Turn upside down

Explanation:

In the past, families tend to have a lot of children since most of their economies revolved around agriculture , so having more children typically resulted in more workers for the field.

This make the demographic pyramid for people who grows old could be 5 times the initial amount from each generation.

If the families keep having less than 2 children, the number of mortality rate will outpace the fertility, which will turns the pyramid upside down.

Answer:

GLACIAL DEPOSITS

Today, glacial deposits formed during the Permo-Carboniferous glaciation (about 300 million years ago) are found in Antarctica, Africa, South America, India and Australia. If the continents haven’t moved, then this would suggest an ice sheet extended from the south pole to the equator at this time - which is unlikely as the UK at this time was also close to the equator and has extensive coal and limestone deposits. If the continents of the southern hemisphere are re-assembled near the south pole, then the Permo-Carboniferous ice sheet assumes a much more reasonable size.

More evidence comes from glacial striations – scratches on the bedrock made by blocks of rock embedded in the ice as the glacier moves. These show the direction of the glacier, and suggest the ice flowed from a single central point.
