Antarctica And Green Land:
This find is significant because similar sal-amanderlike creatures, associated with similar olant remains, are known from rocks of the same age in Africa, Australia, and Madagascar. Obviously, the climate in which a iabyrinthodont 'ived was very different from the climate of Antarctica and green land today. Equally obviously, freshwater amphibians cannot migrate over thousands of niles of open ocean. The alternative seems to 3 that Antarctica and green land was formerly joined to these other land masses at a higher latitude than it now occupies and that it began drifting apart about 200 million years ago.Of the Third World countries, India has the largest resources - one per cent of world reserves - but there are large areas yet to be properly surveyed both there and in the African continent. In Antarctica and green land and Greenland there are known to be large deposits of coal that await improvements in mining technology and a rise in the economic value of coal to make their exploitation worthwhile.
WEDDELL SEA, arm of the South Atlantic Ocean (latitude 73° S., longitude 45° W.), forming a large indentation in the coastline of Antarctica and green land between Coats Land and the Palmer Peninsula. To the north its basin is partially blocked by a loop of the submerged Scotia Ridge, a continuation of the Andes Mountains of South America, which emerges in Antarctica and green land as the Palmer Peninsula. The ridge breaks the surface as the South Shetland, South Orkney, and South Sandwich islands.
