the Appalachian Mountains). As the supercontinent spilt apart‚ steep stress fractures formed along the surface and were filled with molten rock‚ the magma eventually forming dykes that are now residing along the cliff of Western Brook Ponds. The continent then continued to drift further and naturally experienced weathering and erosion which allowed limestone to form from the sediments of sand and silt.

You could compare these topics in similarities; continental drift and plate tectonics both start on the same basis of idea‚ that Earth’s lithosphere is made up of tectonic plates. You could also state some differences‚ such as continental drift occurs on all plate types‚ but sea-floor spreading only takes place

This is a cost minimization problem‚ thus the target is to achieve the lowest cost possible. The constraints in all parts of a‚ b‚ c‚ and d are the same. We had to ensure that the unused capacity unit was a positive number and the unmet demand must remain at zero. For parts C and D‚ an additional constraint and an assumption were made; the assumption is that per-merger scaling
