Laurentia, also called the North American Craton, is a huge continental craton. It forms the ancient geological core of the continent of North America. It is made up of present day North America and Greenland. About 300 million years ago, it collided with the southern hemispheric continent of Gondwana and formed the supercontinent called Pangaea.

Difference between upthrust force and normal reaction force.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Both are contact forces arising at the interface between two bodies. In the fluid this interface might be irregular, and it completely surrounds a submerged object. For a solid it is usually a single flat surface - but it can be a collection of surfaces, which do not need to be flat or regular, and which can surround the object

Upthrust occurs at a fluid-solid interface whereas normal reaction occurs at a solid-solid surface. However, it is possible to generate the same fluid-like phenomenon of upthrust by immersing a solid object in sand or small beads and agitating them to simulate the pressure of atoms. With
