DRI!ED S"PERC#N!INEN! #b$e%ti&e' •

Tell the possible direction of motion of the continents as they drifted away.

•

Draw fossils of plants and animals as evidences found in the present continents that will help solve the puzzle in the fitting of the drifted continents.

•

Reconstruct and describe Pangaea.

•

Predict what will happen to the world as the continents continuously move.

 Material(' •

Photocopy of the seven continents

•

World map

•

Pair of scissors

Pr)%e*ure' •

. !ut carefully the traces of the seven continents. Warning" #e careful in using the scissors.

•

$. %&etch the dominant species of plants and animals found in the continents before and after drifting away from each other.

'. Put the cut ( outs together. )'. What do the *lossopteris fossils tell us about the early positions of the continents+ )4. ,f *lossopteris were found in Antarctica- what was the climate of this continent before+ ).,f the climate and the position of a place are relative to each other- where then was the initial location of Antarctica $/ million years ago+ )0. What does the presence of 1esosaurus fossils tell about the initial location and positioning of %outh AmericaAfrica- and Antarctica+ 4. 1a&e sure that you put fitting edges of the continents side by side to form the supercontinent Pangaea. )2. What clues are useful in reconstructing Pangaea+ )3. Which continents do you thin& were neighbors before+ ). ,s there a possibility that the current location of a continent would be different // years from now+ )$/. Where do you thin& as the Philippines located during the time that the Pangaea e5isted+ Research on how the Philippine island emerged. . !ompare Pangaea with the world map. 0. 6ow move one continent relative to its current location. 7bserve carefully the direction of tis motion as it assumes its current location and position. Record your observation. 2. Do the same procedure to the other continents. Record your observations. )$. ,f the continents will continue to move- try to predict the Philippines8 location // million years from now.

According to Philippine fol&lore- the country came out to be made of 2-/2 islands 9in low tide: due to a con;ugal fight between two giants from ,locos- named Angalo and Angarab. the island of
