![]() ![]() Topographically, it is a mountainous land crossed by the large river valleys – Benue, Gongola and Yedsarem. Its eastern border forms the national eastern border with Cameron. It is bordered by the states of Borno to the northwest, Gombe to the west and Taraba to the southwest. In 1991, when Taraba State was carved out from Gongola State, the geographical entity Gongola State was renamed Adamawa State, with four administrative divisions: Adamawa, Michika, Ganye, Mubi and Numan.Īdamawa is one of the largest states of Nigeria and occupies about 36,917 square kilometres. Like and comment if you want a continuation.Īdamawa is a state in northeastern Nigeria, whose capital and largest city is Yola. Many of these eastern Asian blocks originated as slivers of northern Gondwana and drifted northwards during the Late Palaeozoic and earliest Mesozoic to accrete to the larger Asian blocks during the Late Triassic–Jurassic. The continental nucleus of present-day Asia was the Siberian block, but other blocks included Kazakhstan, Tarim, and a loose archipelago of blocks that were to become much of China and South-east Asia. Today, the Mesozoic and Cenozoic sedimentary rock layers that lie beneath much of the coastal plain and fringing continental shelf remain nearly horizontal.Īsia, however, did not exist as a single block. In plate tectonic terms, the Atlantic Plain is known as a classic example of a passive continental margin. This once-active divergent plate boundary became the passive, trailing edge of westward moving North America. As the edge of North America moved away from the hot rift zone, it began to cool and subside beneath the new Atlantic Ocean. At first, the hot, faulted edge of the continent was high and buoyant relative to the new ocean basin. The thick continental crust that made up the new east coast collapsed into a series of down-dropped fault blocks that roughly parallel today’s coastline. Meanwhile, North America was slowly pushed westward away from the rift zone. The rift zone known as the mid-Atlantic ridge continued to provide the raw volcanic materials for the expanding ocean basin. The gash between the spreading continents gradually grew to form a new ocean basin, the Atlantic. Volcanic eruptions spewed ash and volcanic debris across the landscape as these severed continent-sized fragments of Pangea diverged. Rifting began as magma welled up through the weakness in the crust, creating a volcanic rift zone. Pangea first began to be torn apart when a three-pronged fissure grew between Africa, South America, and North America. Its name is derived from the GrePan gaeaaia, meaning “all the Earth.” Pangea’s existence was first proposed in 1912 by German meteorologist Alfred Wegener as a part of his theory of continental drift. The supercontinent began to break apart about 200 million years ago, during the Early Jurassic Epoch(201 million to 174 million years ago), eventually forming the modern continents and the Atlantic and Indiana oceans. Pangea was surrounded by a global ocean called Panthalassa, and it was fully assembled by the Early Permian Epoch (some 299 million to 273 million years ago). Pangaea, in early geological time, a continent that incorporated all the land mass on earth. I started wondering and I decided to search and study more on it.

It’s also available in select third-party partner stores such as Best Buy in the U.S. Additionally, the company has also announced that “all of the games are Game Controller compatible, so they can be played with either the Siri Remote or with any tvOS compatible Gamepad.”įor those interested, the new Apple TV 4 is now on sale, available both from online and retail Apple Stores worldwide. It wasn’t exactly a difficult decision for the company to release five titles for the Apple TV given its advanced features and capabilities that will enhance our living rooms. ![]() In an official press release, Pangea founder Brian Greenstone stated that he and his company have “been waiting for this for many years”. The 3D compatible offerings by Pangea for Apple TV 4 include Air Wings, Bugdom 2, Nanosaur 2, Nucleus, as well as a seriously fun robot adventure game titled Otto Matic. It seems that the age of 3D gaming on the Apple TV is upon us, right now. ![]() All of our tvOS games will support 3DTV □ ![]()
