The "cretaceous-tertiary" mass extinction was apparently caused by a "meteorite" that struck the Yucatan Peninsula.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The Yucatan Peninsula lies between the present-day 'Gulf of Mexico' and the 'Carribean Sea'.
  • The meteorite that struck this peninsula about '66' million years ago was '10 to 15 kilometers' wide in size.
  • A huge crater was formed after the meteorite hit the Earth at the Yucatan Peninsula. This crater in today's date is known as the "Chicxulub impact crater".

What is one conclusion you can draw about changing political boundaries in africa represented on the maps?
frutty [35]

Answer:

The main conclusion that can be determined by observing the map of Africa is that the borders of the nations of modern Africa were determined by the colonial powers that distributed the territories of the continent after the Berlin Conference. Thus, the present borders of the continent do not respect the historical nationalities that the African tribes give each other, with which ethnic conflicts occur in many of these nations, especially in central Africa. Thus, although today it is a practically impossible situation, in case of wanting to respect the historical nationalities of the peoples of the continent, the current national borders should be modified taking into account the ethnic, social and cultural differences of its inhabitants.
