Reason why the international dateline is significant

Geography
1 answer:
andreev551 [17]3 years ago
5 0
The International Date Line, established in 1884, passes through the mid-Pacific Ocean and roughly follows a 180 degrees longitude north-south line on the Earth. It is located halfway round the world from the prime meridian—the zero degrees longitude established in Greenwich, England, in 1852.

The International Date Line functions as a “line of demarcation” separating two consecutive calendar dates. When you cross the date line, you become a time traveler of sorts! Cross to the west and it’s one day later; cross back and you’ve “gone back in time."

The Gobi is most notable for it being the location for several important cities in the Silk Road and as part of the Great Mongol Empire.

Elza [17]
Oldest to youngest- D, A, E, B, C
It's called relative dating, you basically find the rocks that are at the very bottom (oldest), look for the ones that are on the top (younger), but if you find any that are cross cutting, those are the youngest of them all.
