Fossil records from separate continents, particularly on the outskirts of continents show the same species. As well mineral specimens along the supposed break lines of the continents are nearly identical. Some identical species exist on certain continents, like an earthworm common to both Africa and South America suggesting the species could not have spontaneously arisen on both continents without some variations.
Answer:
No,you are most likely to see volcanic mountains where Magma is rising along the mid Ocean ridge spreading centre.
Answer:
The direction of rivers are usually expressed with respect to the directions we are familiar with: North, South, East or West.
A river has an origin, usually at a higher latitude and ends at the sea or ocean or a large water body. Gravity is the driving force for river flow. Hence, we gauge the ‘direction’ the water is going to flow for any river.
If we were going to get more technical, flow in rivers and streams are measured for their streamflow, which is the amount of water passing through some infinitesmal volume, i.e a point over time. The velocity of the water is determined using acoustic/Doppler based instruments, which will give the local direction of the flow of the river at the measured point along with the velocity.
Hope the answer helps!
This is known as a grain elevator, though this term can also refer to a bucket elevator which is used purely to deposit the grain into another store facility.
