The formation process Continents and Oceans

Continents and oceans formed through a very long process . agoshape of continents and oceans is not what it is today . After going through the processlength is formed as the continent today . How continents andoceans formed ? There was a German scientist named AlfredWagener who proposed the theory of continental formation . According to AlfredWagener , before the days of Carbon ( + - thri hundret million years ago ) , all continentsthat there is now incorporated into one continent called Pangea . continentPangea then split into two continents , namely continent Laurasia ( in partnorth ) and Gondwana continent ( in the south ) . The process of continental breakup of Pangea 'soccurred about one hundred thirty five million years ago . Furthermore, the western part of the continent Laurasia moveto the north away from the continent of Gondwana which eventually formed the continents continentNorth America . Meanwhile, in the southern continent of Gondwana split into severalcontinent , is as follows .1 ) The western part continued to move westward into the South American continent .2 ) The eastern part of moving to the east into the continent of Africa .3 ) a smaller portion in the east continues to move toward the northeast andinto India .

4 ) One again split into two parts , namely the eastern continually on the move tothe northeast , and the fractional part of the west continues to move toward the south .Subsequent developments , North America joined together withSouth America , Eurasia into Europe and from the continent of Asia . The most southern partare moving south into the Antarctic continent and parts of southernmoving to the northeast into the continent of Australia .Wegener's theory of continental drift theory is also called . This theory is based onthe following facts .a. Indentations or form the beach in East Africa , North America , and the UnitedSouth to the west coast of Europe and Africa is almost the same .b . Mainland Greenland ( Greenland ) as far away from Europe + - 36 centimetersevery year .c . Land in South America , Africa , India , Australia and Antarctica shownature of the equation .d . The island of Madagascar in the westward movement hampered by Africa .

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Geography is the study of the location as well as the similarities and differences ( variation ) over the spatial physical and human phenomena on the surface of the earth . The word derives from the Greek , namely Geo ( " Earth " ) and graphein ( " to write " , or " explain " ) .

Geography is also the name of historic titles on the subject, notably the Geographia by Klaudios Ptolemy ( second century ) .

Geography is more than cartography , the study of the map . It not only what and where on the face of the earth , but also why there and not in other places , sometimes defined as " location in space . " Studies this , whether caused by nature or humans . Also studies the consequences of those differences .

1 . The process of formation of the Continent

Mainland continent is so vast central part of the continent is not influenced by the sea breeze at all . On earth there are 5 continents ( five continents ) that inhabited a human , that is the continent of Asia , Australia , Africa , Europe , America . Actually there is still one more continent in the southern hemisphere ice area materialized . Namely the Antarctic continent . However, the continent can not be occupied by humans .

2 . position Continent

A ) . Asian continent

Asiamembentang continent from the west, namely Africa and Europe to the Pacific Ocean on the east side . Astronomically continent asiaberada at LU 840 - 110 LS and 250 BT - 1710 BB .

BenuaAsiaadalah west boundary of continental Europe and the Ural Mountains . Lake of the Caspian Sea , the Black Sea , the Bosporus Strait , Strait dardanello , middle sea , terusansuez , and the Red Sea . In the east . Asian continent bounded by the Bering Strait and the Arctic Ocean and the Indian Ocean .

b ) . The Americas

Astronomically , the American continent lies between LU 840 - 560 LS and 150 BT - 1790 BB .

Geographical limits of the American continent is the Arctic ocean (Sea of Ice ) . Greenland Sea , and Beaufort Sea in the north . Bounded on the east by the Atlantic with some troughs , ie Labrador , North America , Brazil , and Trench Argentia . South side is bordered by the Pacific Ocean and Pacific Rim southeast . While in the west , separated by the narrow Bering Strait benuaAsia .

c ) . African Continent

The African continent has a vast 30.29 million km2 . astronomically , the African continent lies in 350LU - 340 LS and 170 BT - 520 BB . The African continent is traversed by the equator ( equator ) which almost divides the continent into northern and southern parts of the same magnitude . This continent is also traversed by the line Meridian ( 00 longitude ) . In addition , the line traversed the African continent 23,50 LU ( Line behind the north ) and 23.50 LS line ( Line Behind South ) .

Australia discovered by the Dutch explorer William Janze which landed in 1606, while in 1770 James Cook claimed the east coast of Australia as a region of England and gave the name of New South Wales . The original inhabitants were Aborigines , viewed from a position of natural climatic conditions Latitude LS 110 - LS 470 causing the Australian continent is divided into two climatic zones , namely the LS 110 and LS 230 merpakan tropical climate areas and 23,50 and 470 are temperate climate . Daily life language as the national language is English, while using the native language of the area called Aboriginal language .
