EVIDENCE of GEOLOGIC PROCESSES’ INCREDIBLE IMPACT ON LIFE!

Index fossils help us to date layers (both relatively and absolutely) from all over the globe.

show how Earth went from Pangeae to how it is today in only 230 million years

71 million years ago, India was down in the southern hemisphere.

Now it is slowly slamming (2-3 inches per year) into the Eurasian plate forcing up the biggest mountains in the world—the Himalayas

Not only did life on the Indian plate have to adapt to changing hemispheres,

The rising converging of mountains means life in that place must be ready to adapt to higher, cooler altitudes.

The last known supervolcano eruption, believed to have occurred around 70,000 years ago on the site of today's Lake Toba in Sumatra, Indonesia, caused a “volcanic winter” that blocked out the sun for six to eight years.

Yellowstone has had at least three such eruptions: The three eruptions, 2.1 million years ago, 1.2 million years ago and 640,000 years ago, were about 6,000, 700 and 2,500 times larger than the May 18, 1980eruption of Mt. St. Helens in Washington State.
