    Undara Lava tubes consist of a lava field remaining from a massive volcanic eruption of Mt Undara which occurred 190,000 years ago. During the Cenozoic, there was wide spread igneous activity in Eastern Australia. Volcanism commenced in the late Cretaceous (approximately 70 Ma) and continued through the Cenozoic. The cenozoic is the current geological era. It began 66 million years ago and continues today. About 23.3 km³ of lava flowed from the Mt Undara volcano at an estimated rate of 1000 m³ a second. This lava flowed about over 160km to the north west and 90km to the north. The tubes were formed when these rivers of lava crusted over on the outside forming an insulated tube for the rest of the lava to flow along. Eventually the liquid lava…

    The Amazon basin in South America, vegetated by tropical rainforest, lies within the equatorial climate zone and covers an area of some 8,235,430 km 2 mainly in Brazil. The Amazon River flows through the basin from its source high in the Andes towards its mouth in the Atlantic Ocean, and is the largest single source of freshwater runoff on Earth, representing 15-20% of global river discharge. At present the amazon rainforest acts as a carbon sink. It absorbs around 35% of the world’s annual carbon dioxide emissions and produces more than 20% of the world’s oxygen. It contains the greatest biodiversity on Earth, providing a habitat for more than half the worlds estimated 10 million species of plants animals and insects.…

    Archaeological data suggests that the date 2200 B.C can divide the occurrence of square ended seals from rectangular ones. Assumedly, any sampled sites with the presence of square ended seals existed prior to 2200 B.C, while the rest of the sampled sites with rectangular seals existed after this particular date. Consequently, we may indicate sites dated prior to or up to 2200 B.C, and sites “B”, “D”, Garam Masala (GM), and Phul-Ghobi Lower (PGL) fits the equation since all of these sampled sites had square seals. On the other hand, rectangular seals were only found in four sites of “B”, “C”, “E”, Tiltandula (T), and Phul-Ghobi Upper (PGU). In particular, site “B” has both of the square and rectangular seals each that may suggests that the site existed prior to 2200 B.C and have the possibility to continue for some time after. In addition, Lower Phul-Ghobi (LPG) and Upper Phul-Ghobi (UPG) were radiocarbon dated back to 2450 ± 70 BC and 2100 ± 50 B.C respectively.…
