It can take less than 10 seconds for a person to lose consciousness as a result of strangulation, and death can occur in just under five minutes. According to the Training Institute on Strangulation Prevention, nearly four in five victims of strangulation are strangled manually (with hands).
Pangaea begins to break up. Pangaea or Pangea (/paenËdÊiËÉ/) pÃ¦nËdÊiËÉ was a supercontinent that existed during the Late paleozoic and Early mesozoic. Eras it assembled from earlier continental units approximately 300 million years, ago and it began to break apart about 175 million years. agot assembled from earlier continental units approximately 300 million years ago, and it began to break apart about 175 million years ago. In contrast to the present Earth and its distribution of continental mass, much of Pangaea was in the southern hemisphere and surrounded by a super ocean, Panthalassa.
Animation of the rifting of Pangaea. There were three major phases in the break-up of Pangaea. The first phase began in the Early-Middle Jurassic (about 175 Ma), when Pangaea began to rift from the Tethys Ocean in the east to the Pacific in the west, ultimately giving rise to the supercontinents Laurasia and Gondwana. The rifting that took place between North America and Africa produced multiple failed rifts.
