Expert Solution
Introduction
Q1: Which would be a location that would have been glaciated (polar regions), but is now tropical?
- India
- N. America
- Africa
- S. America
- Ans:
- The region that would have glaciated but now experience tropical climate is India. India, while in Pangea, was on Arctic circle and later shifted in tropical zone due to tectonic movements.
- Although, some parts of Africa and South America experience tropical climate but they were not on or close to Arctic circle to get glaciated in Pangea. The parts of Africa and South America which were close to Arctic circle now experience subtropical climate.
- North America shifted up towards Arctic circle from its original position in Pangea, thus option is not valid.
