Study shows poland is located somewhere on earth! Yes, believe it or not! Scientist discovered poland with their eyes, it was miraculous.
Just kidding, Poland is located in Europe, the country right of Germany.

Explanation:
Pangea was a super-continent on the earth which formed about 330 million years ago during the Paleozoic and began breaking up during the early Mesozoic, about 175 million years ago.
Most of the present day continents formed as a result of the separation of the Pangea in the early Mesozoic.
The first scientist to propose the existence of this super-continent was Alfred Wegener in 1912. He suggested the continental drift hypothesis to explain the separation of the land masses.
Today, the theory has been revised to the theory of plate tectonics which provides a better mechanism to understand the drifting of the continents.
Here are some of the evidences to support the existence of Pangea;
- Using fossil evidences: Mesosaurus, a reptile animal that lived during the Permian, was found in both South America and Southern Africa. Since this animal could not swim nor fly, only a jointed landmass could have made them present in both continents.
- Similar rock lithologies at the edges of continents: rock formations at the Western edge of Africa and South - Eastern part of Brazil matches with one another and have been believed to be once joined together.
- Climatic clues such as glacial tills that are confined to temperate and polar regions have been found in tropical regions.
- Wegener fitted the present day continent into a giant supercontinent and this provided a visual support for his claim.
- Evidences from sea floor spreading revealing magnetic reversals at divergent margins suggests the prevalence of plate tectonics i.e moving plates on earth.
This among many other evidences underscores the existence of a supercontinent called Pangea.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The simple ways you can do or contribute in order to lessen the effect or to fight the natural calamities are the following.
First, Filipino people have to know that mother Earth is a conscious being, like. us. The earth has inner processes to renew itself or to clean itself that have happened since the Earth exists: these are hurricanes, typhoons, tornados, earthquakes, deluges, rains, volcanic explosions, and climate changes.
People have to be aware of this and be prepared. The best form is to have a plan. A prevention plan and an action plan. They have to invest in infrastructure to control and diminish the consequences of natural phenomena. The government has to develop the educational and informative to let people know what to do in the case of these events. Their rescue programs and services have to be well prepared with the proper equipment to act swiftly.
Thats whats called the Ecliptic.
