You are reading a proposal requesting $20 million dollars to search for evidence of a crater that caused a mass extinction on Ea
rth around 250 million years ago. The team want to focus on a poorly explored area of the Atlantic Ocean seafloor located between South America and northern Africa. Would you fund this project
Yes, I would fund it if there are no competing proposals.
Explanation:
There are certainly many other projects that are inclined on improving the lives of people. For example, there are Cancer research projects, Alzheimer research projects, research that speak to diabetes, malaria research projects, etc.
It is pragmatic to weigh whether we want to spend money on knowledge for history's sake or channel money into the above research for the sake of improving lives and creating a better future.
No, I think the orientation was not the same 370 million years ago because 370 millions years ago there is a single super continent is present so with the passage of time, the super continent broken down into seven continents due to the activity of tectonic plates present inside the earth crust. So we can say that the orientation of east coast of United states were not the same 370 million years ago.
