Beskrivelse af Pangaea Sister Sites
Dinosaurs, maps, travel, geology, history and climate change. Pangaea Sister Sites, the book, has it all.
Pangaea gave birth to 7 modern continents and numerous islands. When it broke up, locations along those fault lines moved farther and farther apart. Pangaea Sister Sites give us a look at 71 sets of locations that were divided as much as 180 million years ago, moving from single digit miles to thousands of miles apart.
Filled with more than 1,200 illustrations, including Paleomaps by professional geologist, Dr. Christopher Scotese. This book covers not only at the modern cities, towns, scientific research stations and other sites as they exist today, but also gives us a glimpse at what these sites might have been like back in the Jurassic and early Cretaceous periods-when dinosaurs ruled the world.
Some of the Pangaea Sister Site pairs include,
¿ New York City, NY, USA-Dakhla, Western Sahara,
¿ Boston, MA, USA-Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands,
¿ Vancouver, BC, Canada-Cabo San Lucas, BC, Mexico,
¿ Miami, FL, USA-Conakry, Guinea,
¿ Cape Canaveral, FL, USA-Bissau, Guinea-Bissau,
¿ Virginia Beach, VA, USA-Nouadhibou, Mauritania,
¿ Fortaleza, Brazil-Lagos, Nigeria,
¿ São Paulo, Brazil-Lucira, Angola,
¿ Rio de Janeiro, Brazil-Lobito, Angola,
¿ Recife, Brazil-Douala, Cameroon,
¿ Salvador, Brazil-Port-Gentil, Gabon,
¿ Buenos Aires, Argentina-Bogenfels, Namibia,
¿ Antalaha, Madagascar-Mumbai, India,
¿ Kolkata, India-Davis Station, Antarctica,
¿ Perth, Australia-Mirny Station, Antarctica.
Pangaea Sister Sites, the book, exposes very real connections between these modern locations, rekindling forgotten kinships-links to our Jurassic past.
