Ce sont des millions de documents qui occupent un demi-kilomètre de rayonnages à l’#Africa #musee de #Tervuren. Ils datent de l’époque coloniale et ils suscitent bien des convoitises Ils contiennent en effet des informations géologiques de premier ordre sur les sous-sols de la #RDC République démocratique du #Congo dont on sait qu’ils abritent des #ressourcesminières inestimables

Just One Long Mountain Range

When we think of mountain ranges, we don't usually think of them for what they really are, geological formations that can span the entire planet. However, that's exactly what this map depicts. It shows how the Appalachian mountains in the U.S. actually connect with the Scottish Highlands, the hills of Ireland, Scandinavian Mountains, the east side of Greenland and the Atlas Mountains. When all of these places were once joined together, these ranges formed the Central Pangean Mountains millions of years ago.
