The Continental Divide divides the region into two large drainage areas. To the east of the Divide, waters, flow to the Arctic Ocean, to the Hudson Bay, or to the Atlantic oceans through the Mississippi River system. To the West, they flow into the Pacific Ocean. Hope this helps. ;)

1. The shapes of some continents seemed to fit together.
2. the same fossils were found on different continents separated by 1000's of miles of Ocean
3. similar mountains and rocks were found on different continents thousands of miles apart.
4. glacial deposits were found near the equator in tropical regions.
I would say it is better ways of predicting hurricanes and automobiles that use no fossil fuels.
I could be wrong but I hope this information helps you my friend :D
Hi,
Scientists have used rock samples to date the Earth's past. They also might use Steno's principles.
Relative dating is the determination of the age of a rock or geological event by comparing with other rock/ geologic events. Absolute dating is a form of geologic dating that gives an actual date or age in history that the item was formed or died in years.
Steno's principles are:
Law of superposition - Bottom layer is the oldest, top layer of the youngest In undisturbed layers of sedimentary rock or magma.
Original horizontally - When sedimentary rock layers form, they are "created in a horizontal form.
The Principle of Lateral Continuity -<span> States that layers of sediment initially extend </span>laterally<span> in all directions.
